"Consciousness Explained" (book by Daniel Dennett)

"Consciousness Explained" by Daniel Dennett explores how our subjective experience arises from brain processes. He argues that consciousness isn't a single, central "spark" but a result of complex, interconnected neural activities that create our perceptions, thoughts, and feelings. Dennett introduces concepts like the "multiple drafts" model, suggesting our brain continuously narrates and edits sensory information. The book aims to demystify consciousness, showing it as an emergent, functional product of evolved cognitive mechanisms, rather than a mysterious or separate entity, offering a scientific understanding of how we experience the world and ourselves.
