About Consciousness Explained
Consciousness Explained is a 1991 book by the American philosopher Daniel Dennett, in which the author offers an account of how consciousness arises from interaction of physical and cognitive processes in the brain. Dennett describes consciousness as an account of the various calculations occurring in the brain at close to the same time. He compares consciousness to an academic paper that is being developed or edited in the hands of several people at once, the "multiple drafts" theory of consciousness. In this analogy, "the paper" exists even though there is no single, unified paper.
