Nominator's statement

Our intuitions tell us that Dennett simply must be wrong about consciousness. History may not agree with our intuitions; only time will tell. This book, while reviled by many in its day, may turn out to be way ahead of its time.

comments

• Deserves a place, but certainly not for successfully explaining consciousness!

• This work presents a consistent and complete theory of consciousness, which both disects and refutes accepted dogma and presents an incisive alternative. It is an exhaustive panorama of the burgeoning science of consciousness and will be noted as a pioneering effort by future cognitive science historians. It deserves to be in your top 100 selections, if not in your top 10.

• This definitely deserves to be on this list.

• This is a nicely written book on consciousness.
