术语“表征主义”的详细信息

英译术语:

representationalism

汉语语境:

一阶表征主义试图凭借表征内容来解释意识状态的现象特征，而高阶表征主义则认为，心理状态之所以是有意识的，并不是凭借表征实现的，而是一种被表征的结果。换句话说，心理状态是有意识的是因为它们自身作为了高阶表征的表征内容。

英语语境:

The two most cited representationalism of consciousness are First-Order Representationalism (FOR) and Higher-Order Representationalism (HOR). FOR is the theory that attempts to account for a conscious state's phenomenal character in terms of its representational content. However, according to HOR, mental states are conscious by not representing but being represented. In other words, they are conscious because they are themselves the representational contents of higher-order representations.
