Consciousness Explained | Daniel C. Dennett
2 posts | 6 read | 5 to read
"Brilliant...as audacious as its title....Mr. Dennett's exposition is nothing short of brilliant." --George Johnson, New York Times Book Review Consciousness Explained is a a full-scale exploration of human consciousness. In this landmark book, Daniel Dennett refutes the traditional, commonsense theory of consciousness and presents a new model, based on a wealth of information from the fields of neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence. Our current theories about conscious life-of people, animal, even robots--are transformed by the new perspectives found in this book.

Consciousness Explained | Daniel C. Dennett

This book I knew would save me, but my salvation was still long time's away. If we know something, clearly, it has to be argued for eloquently; but if we don't know anything, maybe the best thing we can do is just show people how thinking works. Reading this book organized all the straw in my head and stored it in the spacious barn of Dennett's soul: this teaching me that I should learn more about psychology, that great path towards enlightenment.

I‘m a Cambridge Philosophy graduate but this was a little out there for me, too convoluted and abstract
