　　Content and Consciousness is an original and ground-breaking

attempt to elucidate a problem integral to the history of Western

philosophical thought: 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. This

important and illuminating work is widely-regarded as the book from

which all of Dennett’s future ideas developed. It is his first

explosive rebuttal of Cartesian dualism and one of the founding

texts of philosophy of mind.
