Recent work on consciousness has featured a number of debates on
the existence and character of controversial types of phenomenal
experience. Perhaps the best-known is the debate over the existence
of a sui generis, irreducible cognitive phenomenology - a
phenomenology proper to thought. Another concerns the existence of
a sui generis phenomenology of agency. Such debates bring up a more
general question: how many types of sui generis, irreducible,
basic, primitive phenomenology do we have to posit to just be able
to describe the stream of consciousness? This book offers a first
general attempt to answer this question in contemporary philosophy.
It develops a unified framework for systematically addressing this
question and applies it to six controversial types of phenomenal
experience, namely, those associated with thought and judgment,
will and agency, pure apprehension, emotion, moral thought and
experience, and the experience of freedom.
