Theories of situation awareness must grapple with questions of consciousness raised by objectivism, normativism and elementarism. This short essay frames these questions for the consideration of researchers working on situation awareness. Their basis in ancient as well as recent debates on ontology and their relevance to applications of situation awareness are discussed.
