Dennetts Theorie des Geistes

Dennett entwirft seine Theorie des Geistes, der Intentionalität und des Bewusstsein73 vor dem Hintergrund einer anti-dualistischen und materialistischen Festlegung: The prevailing wisdom […] is materialism: there is only one sort of stuff, namely matter – the physical stuff of physics, chemistry, and physiology – and the mind is somehow nothing but a physical phenomenon. In short, the mind is the brain. […] It is one of the main burdens of this book to explain consciousness without ever giving in to the siren song of dualism.
