--- abstract: |- This is a brief and accessible English summary of the "Self-model Theory of Subjectivity" (SMT), which is only available as German book in this archive. It introduces two new theoretical entities, the "phenomenal self-model" (PSM) and the "phenomenal model of the intentionality-relation" PMIR. A representationalist analysis of the phenomenal first-person persepctive is offered. This is a revised version, including two pictures. altloc: - http://www.philosophie.uni-mainz.de/metzinger/publikationen/The - Subjectivity - of - Subjective - Experience.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Metzinger given: Thomas honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2000 date_type: published datestamp: 2001-05-10 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/13/58 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: - family: Metzinger given: Thomas honourific: '' lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 1358 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/1358/3/The_Subjectivity_of_Subjective_Experience.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: Consciousness self-consciousness first-person perspective phantom limbs constraints self-model lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:54:35 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: 'T.
