Consciousness Explained

"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.
