Rethinking Consciousness: Lessons from Daniel Dennett
Presented by Peter Stone, Trinity College (Dublin)

Consciousness remains a source of fascination for neuroscientists, philosophers, and curious folk everywhere. But how to explain it? Is consciousness a hard—even impossible—problem to solve? Or can it be figured out using standard techniques in science and philosophy. In this talk, Peter Stone, an Associate Professor in Political Science at Trinity College Dublin, will examine these questions. Drawing heavily upon the work of the late philosopher Daniel Dennett, he will suggest lessons both for how we should understand consciousness and for the methods we should use to investigate it.
