Unfortunately, the literature on consciousness is in even greater terminological disarray than many other fields, for understandable reasons: (1) to an unusual degree, we still don’t know what we’re talking about w.r.t. consciousness, and as a result, (2) consciousness studies is an extremely interdisciplinary “field,” with contributions from scholars of nearly non-overlapping professional backgrounds. So, I’m not sure what a useful source on “useful terminology” would look like. Possibly a broad and shallow survey like my report or Weisberg (2014) is the best we can do at this stage.
