Abstract
This commentary discusses the papers included in this special issue which focuses on the role of consciousness in various aspects of behavior. The commentary first outlines dominant theories of consciousness and awareness. It then focuses on the papers included in the special issue, outlining the main findings or claims of each and embedding them in the general frame of the current study of consciousness. Finally, we conclude by outlining some general premises a general theory of consciousness would have to satisfy.
