The loneliness of the long-distance truck driver

In one sense (among many) of the word 'conscious', a mental state is a conscious state iff its subject is aware of being in that state. Thus, in this sense of 'conscious', a conscious decision is a decision that one is aware of making, a conscious memory is a memory that one is aware of having. 'Inner sense' or 'higher-order perception' (HOP) theories 'of consciousness' are concerned primarily with consciousness in the sense just outlined.
