First published in 1969, Content and Consciousness is an original and ground-breaking attempt to elucidate a problem which is integral to the history of Western philosophical thought -- that is: the relationship of the mind and body. In this formative work, Dennett sought to develop a theory of the human mind and consciousness based on new and challenging advances in the field that came to be known as cognitive science. Widely-regarded as the book from which all of Dennett's future ideas developed, this important and illuminating work is the author's first explosive rebuttal of Cartesian dualism and one of the founding texts of philosophy of mind.

Industry Reviews

'It presents a compelling and sometimes profound conception of the subject; it is ambitious without being grandiose; it employs scientific information effectively and ingeniously; its style, moreover, is enviable clear witty, clear, fluent and relaxed. One rarely encounters a difficult work of technical philosophy that is such a pleasure to read.' - Thomas Nagel, Journal of Philosophy

'Content and Consciousness is an extraordinarily interesting and original book, and one which will raise the level of current discussion in the philosophy of mind.' - Richard Rorty, Philosophical Studies

'I have certainly been greatly stimulated by reading the book, and I recommend it to all others who have an interest in the problems of mind and body and of physicalism and its alternatives.' - J.C.C. Smart, Mind

'One rarely encounters a difficult work of technical philosophy that is such a pleasure to read.' - Thomas Nagel, Journal of Philosophy
