David M. Rosenthal on Consciousness - Dictionary of Arguments
Chalmers I 230 Consciousness/Rosenthal: (Rosenthal 1996)(1): Thesis: For a state to be conscious, it must be the object of thought of a higher-level thought. These second level thoughts are usually not conscious, so we do not notice them. ChalmersVs: considerations from the position of the third person speak against it, and second level thoughts do not seem to appear relevant to a cognitive system. They would usually be redundant (for example, if they were needed for every detail in the field of vision). >Thinking, >Cognition, >Thoughts. Experiences/Rosenthal: experiences are states of which we have a consciousness. >Experiences. ChalmersVs: it is not certain that most of our experiences are the object of our thoughts. >Perception, >World/Thinking. 1. David M. Rosenthal (1996). "A theory of consciousness". In: Ned Block, Owen J. Flanagan & Güven Güzeldere (eds.), The Nature of Consciousness.
