Hva er oppmerksomhet? Hvordan former oppmerksomhet bevissthet? Boka gir et samlet, omfattende svar på begge spørsmål. Boka bruker en innfallsvinkel som beskjeftiger seg med grunnlagsspørsmål i sinnsfilosofi, handlingsteori, psykologi og nevrovitenskapene. Bokas første halvdel gir en fremstilling av oppmerksomhetens natur. Sebastian Watzl viser at oppmerksomhet ikke er enda en del av sinnet, men strukturer som organiserer, integrerer og koordinerer sinnets bestanddeler. Bokas andre halvdel dreier seg om forholdet mellom oppmerksomhet og bevissthet. Watzl argumenterer for at bevissthetens sentrum-periferi-struktur – en oppmerksomhetsstruktur som danner sentrum og periferi i bevisstheten – ikke kan reduseres til strukturen som utgjør hvordan verden fremtrer for subjektet. Altså er vår bevisste opplevelse mer enn måten verden fremtrer for oss på. På dette grunnlaget legger boka frem en ny oppfatning av bevissthet. Bevissthet (eller bevisst opplevelse) er ikke en indre følelse eller måten verden fremtrer for oss på, men en aktivitet: Det er det spesielle subjektive perspektivet hver av oss tar.

Hva vil det si å ha kunnskap om noe? Hva slags ting finnes i verden, og hva går det an å vite noe om? Hvordan bør vi leve? Hva er verdifullt?

I denne boka søkes svar på disse spørsmålene gjennom eksempler fra filosofi- og vitenskapshistorien og fra etikk. Boka har 20 kapitler fordelt på tre deler. Del 1 – vite – stiller spørsmål om kunnskap. Del 2 – være – tar utgangspunkt i hva som er virkelig. Del 3 – gjøre – er viet etikk. Hvert kapittel har en introduksjon samt én til to originaltekster som er skrevet av tenkere fra vår samtid og fra filosofi- og vitenskapshistorien. Hvert kapittel har også studiespørsmål og en opplisting av det du bør ha lært, etter å ha lest kapittelet.

  What is the role of attention in introspection? The chapter begins with a tension: ‘inward-directed’ or ‘introspective’ attention seems to be at the heart of introspection; yet it can also seem to be impossible. Starting from this tension, the chapter addresses a number of issues. First, how much theory of attention should be involved in the discussion of attention and introspection? The chapter argues for a ‘theory-light’ approach that recommends constructing and reconstructing our theories of attention and introspection simultaneously. Second, what may be meant by ‘inward-directed’ or ‘introspective’ attention? The issue, it is argued, is surprisingly complex and depends on the nature of attention and experience. Third, what kind of roles may attention play in introspection? The chapter proposes a way of unifying the roles of attention in introspection and elsewhere by thinking of introspection as a particular type of inquiry. Fourth, the chapter raises the question of how we introspect our own attention and how the answer to it may be relevant for theories of introspection generally. Fifth and finally, given that there are many issues and people that deserve our attention, how much attention should we each dedicate to our own mind? Answering normative questions about introspection will require addressing normative questions about attention.

  Attention is described as a “scarce commodity” that is traded in “a marketplace.” This, it is further claimed, contributes to a “widespread sense of attentional crisis.” But is there really an attention market, and if so, what, if anything, is wrong with it? We defend the claim that there are markets in attention. We provide an account of such attention markets and use that account to address what is morally wrong with them. Our account draws on knowledge of how attention works and what roles it plays in the mind. The attention market trades in an ability to influence our attention – somewhat (though not exactly) like the labor market trades in an ability to influence how we use our capacity for work. Specifically, the commodity it trades in is attentional landscaping potential, viz. the ability to systematically influence patterns of attention by changes to the sensory environment individuals are exposed to. Attention markets thus, we argue, commodify influence over a human capacity that plays a central role in shaping individual experience, agency, and belief formation. This feature of attention markets makes them ethically problematic. As markets in access to external influence, attention markets pose a special threat to individual autonomy and escape the classical liberal defense of free markets. Those who value autonomy should worry about the attention markets that exist today.

  In this work, we present the first general logic of attention. Attention is a powerful cognitive ability that allows agents to focus on potentially complex information, such as logically structured propositions, higher-order beliefs, or what other agents pay attention to. This ability is a strength, as it helps to ignore what is irrelevant, but it can also introduce biases when some types of information or agents are systematically ignored. Existing dynamic epistemic logics for attention cannot model such complex attention scenarios, as they only model attention to atomic formulas. Additionally, such logics quickly become cumbersome, as their size grows exponentially in the number of agents and announced literals. Here, we introduce a logic that overcomes both limitations. First, we generalize edge-conditioned event models, which we show to be as expressive as standard event models yet exponentially more succinct (generalizing both standard event models and generalized arrow updates). Second, we extend attention to arbitrary formulas, allowing agents to also attend to other agents' beliefs or attention. Our work treats attention as a modality, like belief or awareness. We introduce attention principles that impose closure properties on that modality and that can be used in its axiomatization. Throughout, we illustrate our framework with examples of AI agents reasoning about human attention, demonstrating how such agents can discover attentional biases.

  ‘Everyone knows what attention is’ according to William James. Much work on attention in psychology and neuroscience cites this famous phrase only to quickly dismiss it. But James is right about this: ‘attention’ was not introduced into psychology and neuroscience as a theoretical concept. I argue that we should therefore study attention with broadly the same methodology that David Marr has applied to the study of perception. By focusing more on Marr's Computational Level of analysis, we arrive at a unified answer to the question of what attention is, what role it plays in the mind, and why organisms like us have that capacity. I propose a methodology for studying attention at Marr's Computational Level that optimizes in a three-dimensional space: it should capture core aspects of our first-person experience of attention, be explanatorily powerful in psychology and neuroscience, and fertile in an interdisciplinary context. I show how this methodology leads to what I call the priority structure account of attention. Attention is what organizes current information to make it more useful for the organism. We can identify it by four features. Attention, in this way, helps a cognitive system to integrate its informational state with its current motivational state. I describe how this account improves on alternatives and shows why attention is a useful concept in many disciplines and for connecting them.

  The difference between perception and cognition seems introspectively obvious in many cases. Perceiving and thinking have also been assigned quite different roles, in epistemology, in theories of reference and of mental content, in philosophy of psychology, and elsewhere. Yet what is the nature of the distinction? In what way, or ways, do perception and cognition differ? The paper reviews recent work on these questions. Four main respects in which perception and cognition have been held to differ are discussed. First, their phenomenal character, such as the often-remarked vivacity or immediacy of perception. Second, the way in which they represent the world, e.g. the non-propositional nature of the contents, or non-discursive character of the vehicles, that have been held to characterise perceptual representation. Third, their place in cognitive architecture, i.e., roughly, in the information-flow of the mind, such as their alleged (non-)modularity. Fourth, their mind-world relations, e.g. the way in which perceptions seem to be tightly causally linked with distal or proximal stimuli. Against this background, we distinguish some main options for an account of the perception/cognition distinction, in particular concerning whether there is one, several, or no interesting and principled distinction(s) to be drawn here.

  In the public debate about attention there is much discussion of ‘the problem of distraction.’ I here take up the following topic: what, if anything, is wrong with distraction? We can distinguish being or getting distracted from distracting someone else. I argue that there is nothing problematic about either. Distraction, I argue, should be conceptualized as a specific way in which changes in attention may interfere with task completion. Mind-wandering, on this account, is often not a form of distraction. Whether getting distracted is bad depends on the value of the task that is interfered with: there is no general normative requirement to remain on task. Sometimes distraction is good in every way: it instrumentally valuable, socially important, epistemically and morally justified, and generally appropriate in the subject’s situation. Instead of critiquing the distracted mind or what is supposed to cause it, we should locate the discourse(s) on distraction as a political move in a struggle of who gets how much control over others attention. Both distracting another and accusing them of being distracted can be powerful but also problematic moves in such a context. My discussion considers both contemporary and historical examples.

• Watzl, Sebastian (2025). Attentional Domination. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  Most discussions in the ethics of attention have focused on the evaluation of an individual's attention. Yet, an individual's attention is embedded in a rich social world. This, I argue, creates the potential for some individuals or groups to exercise social power over others: I argue for the existence and significance of Attentional Domination: when one person or group of people is in a position to effectively impose their will on the attention of others. They can do so by controlling their attentional environment – the aspects of the world that shape their Muntonian salience structures. The potential for attentional domination derives from a fundamental vulnerability: in order to do anything useful with our capacity for attention we need to rely on external influences on it. I argue that attention can be an effective domain for domination because of how it organizes an individual's life, how it affects decision making and choice, because of its central role in inquiry and information gathering, and how it shapes our subjectivity. Attentional Domination can take many forms. I discuss some of them and focus especially on one that is prominent today, namely effective control over others' sensory environments. Such control resembles, I argue, control over a city's transportation infrastructure. It controls to where someone is transported mentally.

  Theories of consciousness have a long and controversial history. One well-known proposal — integrated information theory — has recently been labeled as ‘pseudoscience’, which has caused a heated open debate. Here we discuss the case and argue that the theory is indeed unscientific because its core claims are untestable even in principle.

• Watzl, Sebastian (2024). The Integrated Information Theory (IIT): how not to pursue the science of consciousness. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  The integrated information theory (IIT) is an approach to consciousness first developed about 20 years ago. It has been promoted as one of the leading scientific theories of consciousness by some of the most influential researchers in the field. And it has come to occupy a central role in how the science of consciousness is viewed by the general scientific community (covered in journal like Nature) and by the general public (covered in popular science books, public events, and popular media outlets). Does IIT live up to the hype? In this talk, I argue that it does not. I will characterize IIT as a research program with (a) an aim, (b) an approach and methodology, (c) basic claims, and (d) a set of predictions and explanations. I will argue that as such a research program, IIT is showing many signs of failure. It is an emperor in the science of consciousness with very few cloths on. The problem with IIT is not that it incorporates philosophical or metaphysical components (many excellent scientific fields do), but that it fails both as science and as philosophy. A failing research program may inspire good scientific and philosophical work. But being the source of inspiration is not good enough
