Consciousness is a central subject of inquiry within the philosophy of mind, as evidenced by its role in theoretical debates regarding physicalism [1], naturalization [2], and eliminativism [3]. Furthermore, the two concepts are frequently linked in academic literature, such as in the 'Blackwell Guide to the Philosophy of Mind' [4] and works by David Chalmers [5], which explore the ontological status and nature of consciousness [6].

claimProposals made in the 2020s suggest that a cognitively inspired form of representationalism can reconcile neuroscience and the philosophy of mind by bridging gaps regarding concepts such as intentionality, emergence, consciousness, and qualia.
quoteWolfgang Fasching stated: 'Today there is a strong tendency to simply equate consciousness with the qualia. Yet there is clearly something not quite right about this. The "itchiness of itches" and the "hurtfulness of pain" are qualities we are conscious of. So philosophy of mind tends to treat consciousness as if it consisted simply of the contents of consciousness (the phenomenal qualities), while it really is precisely consciousness of contents, the very givenness of whatever is subjectively given. And therefore the problem of consciousness does not pertain so much to some alleged "mysterious, nonpublic objects", i.e. objects that seem to be only "visible" to the respective subject, but rather to the nature of "seeing" itself (and in today's philosophy of mind astonishingly little is said about the latter).'
