    I’ve read Dennett’s Intuition Pumps and other Tools for Thinking. How much of Consciousness Explained is contained in the newer book? How much marginal benefit will I get by reading Consciousness Explained?

    Also, what’s your general opinion of Dennett. What’s your opinion of his recent critique of philosophy? http://qz.com/768450/one-of-the-most-famous-living-philosophers-says-much-of-philosophy-today-is-self-indulgent/
