Paradox and Cross Purposes in Recent Work on Consciousness.
Block, Ned
Cognition, v79 n1-2 p197-219 Apr 2001

The global workspace theory of consciousness fits the functionalist perspective, but the physicalist sees consciousness as a biological phenomenon that implements global accessibility. (Author)
