Dissertation

The Structure of Consciousness” University of Massachusetts, Amherst (2013)

My dissertation examines the nature and structure of conscious experience and does so by exploring two questions: (i) Is consciousness necessarily phenomenally unified? and (ii) Does consciousness entail self-consciousness? I argue that conscious experience must be phenomenally unified. Some believe that conscious unity requires a kind of self-consciousness. I argue that it does not.
