  • Dennett's Intentional Stance theory

    In 1987, according to Dennett, there were three different techniques to use when confronted with objects or systems: the physical stance, the design stance, and the intentional stance. All three techniques are able to be predicted.
  • Dennett's Cartesian Materialism

    In 1991, Dennet came up with Cartesian materialism and that is the idea that there is a correspondence that occurs in relation to our conscious experience which directly entails some set of information in the brain. The idea that there is some centralized repository where the elements of consciousness are merged and put together is called the Cartesian Theater.
  • Daniel Dennett's Multiple Drafts Model

    Daniel Dennett's Multiple Drafts Model
    In 1991, Daniel Dennett’s Multiple Drafts model which he created and described, promotes the cause of a consciousness that can be found in the flow and while information is gathered. This model gets its distinction due to it not focusing on a single experience. In other words, it takes time for consciousness to occur and does not arise in its fullness instantaneously when an object occurs.

    Daniel Dennett wrote, "Darwin's: Dangerous Idea"
    In 1995, Daniel Dennett came up with the book, “Darwin’s Dangerous Idea”. With life evolving, there may be consequences, along with consequences for some people’s ways of thinking. Daniel Dennett’s Darwin’s Dangerous Idea book meets the field of philosophy of science because he explores or questions Darwin’s theory of evolution. In his book, before he explains Darwin, he terms the ‘cosmic pyramid’ as the assumptions that were made before the revolutionary thought.
