More Possibilities for Introspection Reply to Commentators

Abstract

This paper reflects on and replies to the fifteen contributions responding to our target article 'What Forms Could Introspective Systems Take? A Research Programme' (all found in this issue). We focus first on contributions that criticize our research programme, then turn to ones that test our framework against various views and models of human introspection, and finally consider contributions that explore possible variations of introspection in humans, non-human animals, current AI systems, and imaginary minds. We conclude by drawing some lessons for our research programme and making some suggestions for future research on possible forms of introspection.
