The Sensorimotor Account of Sensory Consciousness
When people speak about consciousness, they distinguish various types and different levels, and they argue for different concepts of cognition.

For example, because the intentional and sensory features of mental states differ radically, it is widely accepted that we will make progress by studying each kind of property independently of the other. Of course many mental phenomena, such a...
