On the Cartesian view, consciousness is definitive of the mental. This concept of mentality implies that consciousness cannot be a relational characteristic of mental states, and that it may well be inexplicable as well. The difficulty in explaining consciousness on that view actually results from the Cartesian strategy for dealing with mental phenomena. The main strength of the Cartesian picture is that it closely matches our presystematic, commonsense intuitions. But it achieves this close match by building those intuitions into our very concepts of mind and consciousness.
An account that appeals to higher-order thoughts has no such difficulty. Moreover, there is a well-motivated reason why the higher-order thought that the non-Cartesian invokes must be a thought about oneself. To confer consciousness of a particular mental state, the higher-order thought must be about that very mental state. And the only way for a thought to be about a particular mental state is for it to be about somebody’s being in that state. Otherwise, the thought would just be about that type of mental state, and not about the particular token of it.
