According to one influential view, consciousness has an awareness-content structure any experience consists of the awareness of some content. I focus on one version of this dualism, and argue that it should be rejected. My principal argument is directed at the status of the supposed contents of awareness - I argue that neither of the principal options is tenable, albeit for different reasons.
