Consciousness Explained

Consciousness Explained (1991) offers a revolutionary perspective on the nature of human consciousness. The book challenges traditional notions of a unified self, proposing instead that consciousness emerges from multiple competing processes in the brain, shaped by language and narrative. It invites readers to reconsider fundamental ideas about free will, personal identity, and the nature of subjective experience.
