A Dualistic Theory of Consciousness
... The term consciousness is used for a variety of processes within the individual (c.f. Chalmers, 1996). I use it in the narrow sense of subjective phenomenal experience and not for all the cognitive processes of which subjective experience is just a product. Nor do I use it for referring to intention ...
