चेतना की व्याख्या

परिचय

A book of 1991 written for general readers as well as specialists. Dennett rejects the “Cartesian theatre”, the idea of a place in the brain where everything comes together for an inner observer. In its place he puts the “multiple drafts” model: many processes in the brain edit contents in parallel, and there is no fact about exactly when something becomes conscious. His method is “heterophenomenology”: taking people’s reports of their experience seriously as data without assuming that they are infallible. Qualia, in the sense philosophers usually give the term, do not exist. Critics joked that the book should have been called “Consciousness Explained Away”.
