This book revises the traditional view of consciousness by claiming that Cartesianism and Descartes' dualism of mind and body should be replaced with theories from the realms of neuroscience, psychology and artificial intelligence. What people think of as the stream of consciousness is not a single, unified sequence, the author argues, but "multiple drafts" of reality composed by a computer-like "virtual machine". Dennett considers how consciousness could have evolved in human beings and confronts the classic mysteries of consciousness: the nature of introspection, the self or ego and its relation to thoughts and sensations, and the level of consciousness of non-human creatures.

"Why, Dan," ask the people in AI, "do you waste your time conferring with those neuroscientist? They wave their hands about 'information processing' and worry about where it happens, and which neurotransmitter are involved, and all those boring facts, but they haven't a clue about the computational requirments of higher cognitive functions." "Why," ask the neuroscientist, "do you waste your time on the fantasies of AI? They just invent whatever machinery they want, and say unpardonably ignorant things about the brain." The cognitive psychologists, meanwhil, are accused of concocting models with neither biological plasusibility nor proven computational powers; the anthropologists wouldn't know a model if they saw one, and the philosophers, as we all know, just take in each other's laundry, ...

写作清晰，也比较好地融合了科学案例和哲学概念，在不同的个案中反复地否定了笛卡尔剧场。在这个时代，多重草稿模型可能不是一个难以下咽的结论，但正如丹尼特所担忧的，我们仍旧时不时地滑向存有一种特殊中心的幻觉。

不喜欢这种写作风格。thought experiments是能帮助阐释观点，但一堆小故事里面掺杂着理论，实在让人耐心丧尽
