N2  - In this book Joshua Shepherd presents a systematic account of the value present within conscious experience. This account emphasizes not only  the nature of consciousness, but also the importance of items within  experience such as affect, valence, and the complex overall shape of  particular valuable experiences. Shepherd also relates this account to difficult  cases involving non-humans and humans with disorders of consciousness,  arguing that the value of consciousness influences and partially explains  the degree of moral status a being possesses, without fully determining  it. The upshot is a deeper understanding of both the moral importance of  phenomenal consciousness and its relations to moral status.  This book will be of great interest to philosophers and students of ethics,  bioethics, philosophy of psychology, philosophy of mind, and cognitive  science
