Experimental investigations of the neural substrate of consciousness typically take one of two paths, studying (1) contents or (2) levels of consciousness. It seems obvious to most that these two "paths" are interrelated, yet much less obvious how. This paper gives one suggestion to grasp the interrelation, arguing that conscious levels are determined by conscious contents in a very specific way. It follows from the argument that conscious contents are so-called natural kinds, whereas conscious levels are not.
研究 (1) 意识的内容或 (2) 意识的水平。对大多数人来说,这两条“路径”相互关联似乎是显而易见的,但它们之间的关联方式却不那么明显。本文提出了一种理解这种关联的建议,即有意识的水平是由有意识的内容以一种非常特定的方式决定的。从这个论点中可以得出结论,意识的内容是所谓的自然种类,而意识的水平则不是。
