"Consciousness Explained"

"Consciousness Explained" is a book by philosopher Daniel Dennett that explores how our awareness and experiences arise from the brain's processes. Dennett argues that consciousness isn’t a single thing but a collection of brain functions working together, creating the sense of a unified self. He demystifies the mind by explaining how various cognitive mechanisms—like attention, perception, and memory—combine to produce conscious experience. The book aims to provide a scientific, naturalistic understanding of consciousness, emphasizing that it emerges from physical processes without needing to invoke supernatural or mysterious explanations.
