This phenomenon is the subject of a dispositional "higher-order theory" by philosopher Peter Carruthers. Owen Flanagan called people who deny any possible account of this thing "New Mysterians." Adding a "causal role" for this thing to quantum theory was George Wigner's motive for the "Wigner's friend" variant of SchrÃ¶dinger's cat. Ned Block distinguished "A-" and "P-" types of this phenomenon; understanding the "A-" or "access" type is among its "easy problems" according to David Chalmers. This thing "makes the mind-body problem really intractable," according to Thomas Nagel's "What is it like to be a bat?" Some thinkers claim this thing is divided into units called qualia, which philosophical zombies lack. For 10 points, name this term for awareness of one's own mind.
