In a recent paper, Miguel Sebastián has posed an objection to the higherorder thought theory of consciousness. The higher-order thought theory of consciousness holds that a mental state is conscious when it is the intentional object of a higher-order thought (HOT). Often, the HOT is conceived to be essentially indexical. This means that the HOT somehow picks out the individual who tokens it. Sebastián argues that the way David Rosenthal conceives of the essential indexicality of higher-order thoughts leads to a vicious regress. The regress is vicious, or so it is argued, because our cognitive capacities cannot cater to infinite strings of HOTs. Therefore, according to Sebastián, the higher-order thought theory fails to provide a satisfactor...
