Consciousness Explained Av Daniel C. Dennett

<p><b>In <i>Consciousness Explained</i>, Daniel C. Dennett reveals the secrets of one of the last remaining mysteries of the universe: the human brain.</b><br><br> Daniel C. Dennett''s now-classic book blends philosophy, psychology and neuroscience - with the aid of numerous examples and thought-experiments - to explore how consciousness has evolved, and how a modern understanding of the human mind is radically different from conventional explanations of consciousness.<br><br> What people think of as the stream of consciousness is not a single, unified sequence, the author argues, but ''multiple drafts'' of reality composed by a computer-like ''virtual machine''.<br><br> Dennett explains how science has exploded the classic mysteries of consciousness: the nature of introspection, the self or ego and its relation to thoughts and sensations, the problems posed by qualia, and the level of consciousness of non-human creatures.<br><br> ''Brilliant ... a torrent of stimulating thought''<br /
