 Motor theorists are not the only ones who might be accused of elevating a theory of some circumscribed subset of attention-related phenomena into a spuriously general theory of attention in its entirety. Henry Taylor has shown that, although the ambition to give a general theory of attention is widespread among the philosophers who have recently written on this subject, it is seldom found in the recent psychological literature, where it has proven fruitful to follow the influential example of Michael Posner by giving somewhat separate treatments of attention’s roles in vigilance, in perceptual orientation, and in the focalized deployment of processing resources (Taylor, 2015, 2018; Posner and Boies, 1971). Taylor suggests that the psychologists’ tolerance for pluralism here should be reflected in our philosophical theories.
