Content and Consciousness Revisited is devoted to
reconsider the ideas and ideals introduced in Dennett’s seminal
book, by covering its fundamental concepts, hypotheses and
approaches and taking into account the findings and progress
which have taken place during more than four decades. This book
includes original and critical contributions about the relations
between science and philosophy, the personal/sub-personal level
distinction, intelligence, learning, intentionality, rationality,
propositional attitudes, among other issues of scientific and
philosophical interest. Each chapter embraces an updated approach
to several disciplines, like cognitive science, cognitive
psychology, philosophy of mind and cognitive psychiatry.
