The author of 'Complexity and the Evolution of Consciousness' argues that consciousness and emotions are initially instantiated through a hedonic valence system, which later becomes more representational through the acquisition of richer sensory and integrative capacities, a view that contrasts with Spurrett's approach of bracketing off consciousness and emotions in the study of preferences.
