ABSTRACT
A considerable amount of cross-disciplinary discussion between philosophers and scientists about conscious properties has occurred in the past twenty years. While all the cross-disciplinary discussion has yet to yield much consensus, it has yielded a set of working assumptions, shared by most neuroscientists and philosophers, about their kind (for want of a better word). One of these working assumptions is the representationalist understanding of conscious properties. Neuroscientists look for empirical support for conscious properties representationally understood; philosophers assess whether a representational understanding of conscious properties successfully captures all the features of conscious properties.
