 A number of theorists combine the two approaches. Many of the people who use the term ‘co-consciousness’ in fact seem to have subsumption in mind as the underlying notion. Dainton, for example, embraces the language of co-consciousness and relates the notion to“being experienced together” [subsumption] (2000: 236) but urges in the end that co-consciousness is a better primitive than subsumption (Dainton 2005: 258–259). Or Lockwood (1989: 88): co-consciousness is “the relation in which two experiences stand, when there is an experience of which they are both parts”. Similarly Shoemaker (2003: 65): “The experiences are co-conscious … by virtue of the fact that they are components of a single state of consciousness … ”.
