    Abstract In this book Joshua Shepherd presents a systematic account of the value present within conscious experience. This account emphasizes not onlythe nature of consciousness, but also the importance of items withinexperience such as affect, valence, and the complex overall shape ofparticular valuable experiences. Shepherd also relates this account to difficultcases involving non-humans and humans with disorders of consciousness,arguing that the value of consciousness influences and partially explainsthe degree of moral status a being possesses, without fully determiningit. The upshot is a deeper understanding of both the moral importance ofphenomenal consciousness and its relations to moral status.This book will be of great interest to philosophers and students of ethics,bioethics, philosophy of psychology, philosophy of mind, and cognitivescience

    Abstract Consciousness-based approaches to non-human moral status maintain that consciousness is necessary for (some degree or level of) moral status. While these approaches are intuitive to many, in this paper I argue that the judgment that consciousness is necessary for moral status is not secure enough to guide policy regarding non-humans, that policies responsive to the moral status of non-humans should take seriously the possibility that psychological features independent of consciousness are sufficient for moral status. Further, I illustrate some practical consequences of calling consciousness-based views into question.

    Abstract Cognitive effort is thought to be familiar in everyday life, ubiquitous across multiple variations of task and circumstance, and integral to cost/benefit computations that are themselves central to the proper functioning of cognitive control. In particular, cognitive effort is thought to be closely related to the assessment of cognitive control's costs. I argue here that the construct of cognitive effort, as it is deployed in cognitive psychology and neuroscience, is problematically unclear. The result is that talk of cognitive effort may paper over significant disagreement regarding the nature of cognitive effort, and its key functions for cognitive control. I highlight key points of disagreement, and several open questions regarding what causes cognitive effort, what cognitive effort represents, cognitive effort's relationship to action, and cognitive effort's relationship to consciousness. I also suggest that pluralism about cognitive effort-that cognitive effort may manifest as a range of intentional or non-intentional actions the function of which is to promote greater success at paradigmatic cognitive control tasks-may be a fruitful and irenic way to conceive of cognitive effort. Finally, I suggest that recent trends in work on cognitive control suggests that we might fruitfully conceive of cognitive effort as one key node in a complex network of mental value, and that studying this complex network may illuminate the nature of cognitive control, and the role of consciousness in cognitive control's proper functioning.

    Abstract In this chapter, I review recent work on neuroscientifi c threats to free will. What is it for something to threaten free will? Consider, fi rst, an apparent threat. You are walkingin the dark, and a shadow looms in the distance. It certainly appears threatening, butyou are not sure. What do you do? You consider the source of the threat (the thingcasting the shadow, and you attempt to discover whether the threat is actual (anattacker) or merely apparent (a tree). And if the threat is actual, you attempt to discernwhat epistemic and behavioral changes are required of you
