Daniel Dennett's "brilliant" exploration of human consciousness - named one of the ten best books of the year by the New York Times - is a masterpiece beloved by both scientific experts and general readers (New York Times Book Review) . Consciousness Explained is 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."Dennett is a witty and gifted scientific raconteur, and the book is full of fascinating information about humans, animals, and machines. The result is highly digestible and a useful tour of the field." - Wall Street Journal
