Summary:"As it very often turns out, the ideas that challenge us the most are also the ones that influence us the most. I continued to think about and struggle with this counter-intuitive idea. As I soon discovered it apparently had a long history in philosophy. It was a contemporary version of a family of theories known as higher-order theories of consciousness. These theories were explicitly introduced into the contemporary Western philosophical discussion by authors like David Armstrong (1968), who took themselves to be developing the claims made by philosophers from the 17th and 18th Century. For example, John Locke (1690) famously wrote that "consciousness is the perception of what passes in one's own mind." Immanuel Kant (1724) appealed to a kind of inner sense and spoke of the "I think" which must accompany all our conscious experiences"-- Provided by publisher.
