50Direct self-consciousness (review)Psycoloquy. 2000.One can distinguish the descriptive view of self-consciousness from the philosophical framework of the theory of nonconceptual content.

We point out how the dynamical idea of causality, viewed as multidirectional across multiple scales of organization, could further strengthen the position taken in the target article.
