Daniel C. Dennett

Content and Consciousness (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

A pioneering work in the philosophy of mind, "Content and Consciousness" brings together the approaches of philosophers and scientists to the mind--a connection that must occur if genuine analysis of the mind is to be made. This unified approach permits the most forbiddingly mysterious mental phenomenon--consciousness--to be broken down into several distinct phenomena, and these are each given a foundation in the physical activity of the brain. This paperback edition contains a preface placing the book in the context of recent work in the area.
