I recently finished reading Consciousness Explained by Daniel Dennett and as a result, for the first time I feel as though I have made progress in understanding the hard problem. In my opinion, the defining feature of the book is that Dennett isolates a deeply held intuition many of us share which makes the "hard problem" so confusing. Maybe not explained. But explored, analyzed, examined from an extraordinarily rich perspective. Here, as in other philosophical work (Elbow Room, , etc.), the Director of the Center for Cognitive Studies at Tufts Univ. states that he aims to dethrone the ``Cartesian Theater'' of the mind--that central screen with its implied ``Central Meaner'' who attends to the ``contents of consciousness.

Consciousness Explained is a book by the American philosopher Daniel Dennett, in which the author offers an account of how consciousness arises from interaction of physical and cognitive processes in the brain. This position sets him at odds with philosophers who say that consciousness can be described only with reference to something beyond the material, especially "qualia", said to be the raw content of experience. Dennett says this is an illusion, and there is no "narrative centre" of consciousness at all - in not so many ways, consciousness itself is an illusion; an aggregation of multiple sensory inputs and outputs of the cerebellum, all of which are performing their own functions independently of each other.

Thus, in choosing to reject dualism, Dennett is making the methodological decision not to quit with an easy (but vacuous) answer whenever he runs into difficulties.
