ABSTRACT
One of my central goals in developing the experienced cognition framework has been to argue that an appropriate theory of consciousness and its relation to nonconscious information processes points the way toward a person-level cognitive psychology. Given a theory at the person level, a theory that tells us what it is to be a conscious agent, we can avoid the need for euphemism and understand the subjects of our research as subjects in the sense of individuals with points of view and subjective experience. A theoretical approach that accommodates subjectivity would both answer critics of cognitive science and improve our science by including consciousness in the range of phenomena explained by cognitive theory. My purpose in this final chapter is to offer some comments about the prospects for such theory from the perspective of the experienced cognition framework.
