==== Theories of consciousness ==== In recent years, a central focus of research in the philosophy of mind has been [[consciousness]] and the [[philosophy of perception]]. While there is a general consensus for the global neuronal workspace model of consciousness,<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Dennett |first1=D. |year=2001 |title=Are we explaining consciousness yet? |journal=Cognition |volume=79 |issue=1–2 |pages=221–237 |doi=10.1016/S0010-0277(00)00130-X |pmid=11164029 |s2cid=2235514}}</ref> there are many opinions as to the specifics. The best known theories are Searle's [[Naïve realism|naive realism]], [[Fred Dretske]] and [[Michael Tye (philosopher)|Michael Tye]]'s [[direct and indirect realism|representationalism]], [[Daniel Dennett]]'s [[heterophenomenology]], and the [[Higher-order theories of consciousness|higher-order theories]] of either [[David M. Rosenthal (philosopher)|David M. Rosenthal]]—who advocates a higher-order thought (HOT) model—or [[David Malet Armstrong|David Armstrong]] and [[William Lycan]]—who advocate a higher-order perception (HOP) model. An alternative higher-order theory, the higher-order global states (HOGS) model, is offered by [[Robert van Gulick]].<ref>For summaries and some criticism of the different higher-order theories, see Van Gulick, Robert (2006) "Mirror Mirror – Is That All?" In Kriegel & Williford (eds.), ''Self-Representational Approaches to Consciousness''. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press. The final draft is also available here {{cite web |title=Mirror Mirror – Is That All? |url=http://web.syr.edu/~rnvangul/mirror-mirror.final.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081002035247/http://web.syr.edu/~rnvangul/mirror-mirror.final.pdf |archive-date=2 October 2008 |access-date=23 September 2008}}.
