Daniel Dennett the magic of consciousness

What is consciousness? Why does it remain a mystery? Using evolutionary and cognitive science as his canvas, Daniel Dennett illustrates why understanding consciousness means understanding the "stage-magic" of the mind. Drawing on everything from neuroscience to the world of art, Dennett reverse-engineers the stage magic of the mind, from déjà vu to magic tricks to optical illusions, demonstrating that once we begin to see how the brain creates "illusions" we can begin to imagine how it creates consciousness.
