For example, some synesthetes experience a color when they hear a sound or see a letter. In this paper, I examine two cases of synesthesia in light of the notions of ＂experiential parts＂ and ＂conscious unity.＂ I first provide some background on the unity of consciousness and the question of experiential parts. I then describe two very different cases of synesthesia. Finally, I critically examine the cases in light of two central notions of＂unity.＂ I argue that there is good reason to think that the neural ＂vehicles＂ of conscious states are distributed widely and can include multiple modalities. I also argue that some synesthetie experiences do not really enjoy the same ＂object unity＂ associated with normal vision.展开更多
