Abstract

Does being in a phenomenally conscious state give its subject non-inferential justification for explicit self-ascription of the state? A plausible and simple hypothesis says yes. But the hypothesis cannot be right since a state which is unconscious in the Freudian sense, that is, unavowable, is not necessarily unconscious in the sense of lacking phenomenology. On the contrary, being unconsciously (= unavowably) fearful is a phenomenologically distinctive and unpleasant matter. To see how to improve the simple account we need to reflect on phenomenal consciousness and also on non-inferential justification. Such reflection reveals at least two different ways of developing the simple account, one starting from the suggestion that perception is self-specifying as well as world-specifying, the other invoking Wittgensteinian ideas of avowal.

Keywords: phenomenal consciousness, self-awareness, the Freudian unconscious, non-inferential justification, qualia, self-specifying perception, avowal, Peaco*cke
