Dilemma della prima persona e fenomenologia dell’azione: quanto è minimale l’autocoscienza?
Rivista Internazionale di Filosofia e Psicologia May 1, 2016 Mariaflavia Cascelli
The paper argues that self-consciousness is not an essential component of every conscious experience, even in its minimal, pre-reflective form. By examining the phenomenology of agency and exceptions to the Immunity to Error Through Misidentification principle, the author suggests that self-attribution of agency involves an extended, reflective self-consciousness rather than a minimal, pre-reflective one. This challenges the view that a thin notion of self-consciousness is a necessary prerequisite of consciousness.
