 However, this argument doesn’t seem great. The Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika philosopher, who thinks that our awareness of our conscious mental occurrences always involves an episode of introspective higher-order awareness, could offer a different explanation of why we cannot doubt or be wrong about whether we are undergoing certain conscious mental occurrences. She could say that whenever an agent is in a conscious mental state, there is a veridical higher-order awareness-episode in virtue of which the agent is aware that she is undergoing the relevant mental occurrence.
