P-Consciousness (P) is to be understood in terms of an
immediate fluctuating continuum that is a presentation of raw
experiential matter against which A-consciousness (A) acts to
objectify, impose form or make determinate “thinkable”
contents. A representationalises P but P is not itself
representational, at least in terms of some concepts of
“representation.” Block's arguments fall short
of establishing that P is representational and, given the sort of
cognitive science assumptions he is working with, he is unable to
account for the aspect of phenomenal content that he thinks goes
beyond “representational” content. BBS discussion
reveals the need for greater analysis and justification for a
representationalist thesis of P.
