讲题内容:
"Every consciousness upon whatever object it is primarily directed, is constantly directed upon itself”– wrote Franz Brentano in 1887 in his lectures on Descriptive Psychology. This assertion of the unity of consciousness as reflexive awareness, with philosophical roots in both the West (Aristotle) and the east (Dharmakīrti) has been both criticized and vigorously defended in recent years. In this presentation, I first consider various alternatives to reflexivism (i.e., the view that consciousness consists in conscious mental states being implicitly self-aware), specifically higher-order, representationalist, token-physicalist, and dualist theories. I then review evidence from embodied cognitive science that highlights various problems these latter theories face in accounting for the character of conscious mental states. Finally, I entertain the question whether this sort of evidence provides sufficient ground for claiming that minimally reflexive states, which reach quite far back into our primate lineage (and emerge in the transition from zygote to adult) are epistemologically prior to the types of conscious mental states that presuppose conceptual and narrative competence.
