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.
