Synopsis
Daniel Dennett's "brilliant" exploration of human consciousness -- named one of the ten best books of the year by the New York Times -- is a masterpiece beloved by both scientific experts and general readers (New York Times Book Review).
Consciousness Explained is 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. "Dennett is a witty and gifted scientific raconteur, and the book is full of fascinating information about humans, animals, and machines. The result is highly digestible and a useful tour of the field." --Wall Street Journal"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
