- Summary
- "Tadeusz Zawidzki outlines Dennett's reconciliation of three major components of human nature - thought, consciousness, and freedom of the will - with what science tells us about human beings. In the course of this exposition, the book highlights the important role that Darwinian thinking plays in Dennett's proposed reconciliation, as well as his innovative proposals regarding the 'reality' of our consciousness and its attributes. An introduction to Dennett's thought, this work will prove invaluable to interested readers, students, and scholars alike."--BOOK JACKET.
