What are the grounds for the distinction between the mental and the
physical? What is it the relation between ascribing mental states
to an organism and understanding its behavior? Are animals and
complex systems vehicles of inner evolutionary environments? Is
there a difference between personal and sub-personal level
processes in the brain? Answers to these and other questions were
developed in Daniel Dennett’s first book, Content and
Consciousness (1969), where he sketched a unified theoretical
framework for views that are now considered foundational in
cognitive science and philosophy of mind. Content and Consciousness
Revisited is devoted to reconsider the ideas and ideals introduced
in Dennett’s seminal book, by covering its fundamental concepts,
hypotheses and approaches and taking into account the findings and
progress which have taken place during more than four decades. This
book includes original and critical contributions about the
relations between science and philosophy, the personal/sub-personal
level distinction, intelligence, learning, intentionality,
rationality, propositional attitudes, among other issues of
scientific and philosophical interest. Each chapter embraces an
updated approach to several disciplines, like cognitive science,
cognitive psychology, philosophy of mind and cognitive psychiatry.
