Consciousness Explained by Daniel C. Dennett
5.0
Quite an insightful Read!
Dennett does a fantastic Job at deflating the Idea of Consciousness and gives Clues on what to look for, something seemingly missing from Phil Of Mind at that Time. He uses Metaphors from Darwin’s and Turing’s Work and combines them effortlessly. Very refreshing to see a Philosopher giving testable Prediction in a Book, especially in a Field seemingly filled with a lot of Obscurantism. The Move to not use the popular Vocab and be rather flippant about it is a stroke of Genius.
I will reread it after going through “Brainstorms” and “Intentional Stance”.
Will definitely make notes.
