Consciousness of the kind we value often takes narrative forms. This chapter adopts the psychological stance of Bruner who writes that narrative deals in human or human-like intention and action and the vicissitudes and consequences that mark their course. It discusses the interaction-type elements and story-type elements of narrative, and explores whether consciousness has causal properties. The chapter explains the evolution and development of consciousness, and the developmental psychology of narrative consciousness. The chapter presents a debate of a protagonist and an antagonist. It proposes that we accept not only Dennett's metaphor of self-as-novelist but also that, different conclusions may be drawn than those offered by Dennett. The chapter explores the idea of a conscious unitary self, based on functional properties of narrative. It discusses four aspects of consciousness: the Helmholtzian consciousness, Woolfian consciousness, Vygotskyan consciousness, and Meadean consciousness.
