 Śrīharṣa’s final argument is this (KKh 45–46). It is uncontroversial that even in rational agents, conscious awareness-episodes can be action-guiding: a rational agent’s conscious awareness of an object is capable of making her engage in physical and linguistic behavior under the presupposition that the relevant object exists. For instance, a rational agent’s perceptual experience as of there being a chair before her could motivate her to perform certain chair-related linguistic and physical acts, e.g., saying, “That’s a chair!”, or trying to grab the chair and sit on it. However, if the agent weren’t aware of her experience as of there being a chair before her, then, by the awareness-existence principle, she couldn’t ascertain that there is a chair before her. And if she couldn’t ascertain the existence of the chair, the relevant patterns of physical and linguistic behavior wouldn’t arise. The upshot is that if object-directed conscious awareness-episodes, e.g., perceptual experiences, are to be action-guiding in the case of rational agents, rational agents must be aware of such mental occurrences whenever they take place.
