The Motive of Duty and Kantian Moral Worth

The self and conscious experience
Frontiers in PsychologyThe primary determinant of the self (S) is the conscious experience (CE) we have of it. Therefore, it does not come as a surprise that empirical research on S mainly resorts to the CE (or lack of CE) that subjects have of their S.

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We impose our minds onto the world. We create artifacts that reflect our intentions to make them.

How Seriously Should We Take AI Welfare? Constraints From the Epistemology of Consciousness
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Some philosophers argue that near‐term artificial intelligence (AI) systems might soon be welfare subjects.
