Consciousness explained
Book • 1991
In *Consciousness Explained*, Daniel Dennett undertakes a full-scale exploration of human consciousness.
He challenges the traditional, commonsense theory of consciousness and introduces the 'Multiple Drafts' model as an alternative to the 'Cartesian Theater' concept.
Dennett draws on a wealth of information from neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence to transform current theories about conscious life in humans, animals, and even robots.
The book is praised for its accessible and engaging style, making complex scientific and philosophical concepts highly digestible for both experts and general readers.
