; Dennett's reply from natural selection: Suppose that, by some mutation, a human being is born that does not have Searle's " causal properties " but nevertheless acts exactly like a human being.

Leading libertarian philosophers such as Robert Kane have rejected Dennett's model, specifically that random chance is directly involved in a decision, on the basis that they believe this eliminates the agent's motives and reasons, character and values, and feelings and desires.

In Consciousness Explained, Dennett's interest in the ability of evolution to explain some of the content-producing features of consciousness is already apparent, and this has since become an integral part of his program.

Much of Dennett's work since the 1990s has been concerned with fleshing out his previous ideas by addressing the same topics from an evolutionary standpoint, from what distinguishes human minds from animal minds ( Kinds of Minds ), to how free will is compatible with a naturalist view of the world ( Freedom Evolves ).

Dennett's view of consciousness is that it is the apparently serial account for the brain's underlying parallelism.

Dennett's main argument is that the various properties attributed to qualia by philosophers — qualia are supposed to be incorrigible, ineffable, private, directly accessible and so on — are incompatible, so the notion of qualia is incoherent.

Searle says that in Dennett's view, there is no consciousness in addition to the computational features, because that is all that consciousness amounts to for him: mere effects of a von Neumann ( esque ) virtual machine implemented in a parallel architecture and therefore implies that conscious states are illusory, but Searle points out: " where consciousness is concerned, the existence of the appearance is the reality.

Again, Dennett's argument is that we may not have behavioral choice, but we do have control of our behavior.

It attempts to give an account of free will and moral responsibility which is complementary to Dennett's other views on consciousness and personhood.

Dennett's stance on free will is compatibilism with an evolutionary twist – the view that, although in the strict physical sense our actions might be pre-determined, we can still be free in all the ways that matter, because of the abilities we evolved.

One way to summarize the difference between the Churchlands's views and Dennett's view is that the Churchlands are eliminativists when it comes to propositional attitudes, but reductionists concerning qualia, while Dennett is an anti-reductionist with respect to propositional attitudes, and an eliminativist concerning qualia.

The key role of heterophenomenology in Dennett's philosophy of consciousness is that it defines all that can or needs to be known about the mind.

Daniel Dennett's multiple drafts model of consciousness is a physicalist theory of consciousness based upon cognitivism, which views the mind in terms of information processing.

Dennett's thesis is that our modern understanding of consciousness is unduly influenced by the ideas of René Descartes.

The distinction is that Dennett's theory denies any clear and unambiguous boundary separating conscious experiences from all other processing.

Dennett's theory has received criticism, at least part of this is because of the tone of his presentation.

Gould responded to Dennett's claims in The New York Review of Books, and in his technical volume The Structure of Evolutionary Theory.

Research subsequent to Dennett's book indicates that some of his postulations were more conservative than expected.

Critics of Dennett's approach, such as David Chalmers and Thomas Nagel, argue that Dennett's argument misses the point of the inquiry by merely redefining consciousness as an external property and ignoring the subjective aspect completely.

Some say that Dennett's theory does not satisfactorily deal with the issue of why we feel so strongly that we do have behavioral choice.

For example, the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry published an article by Chris Mooney titled " Not Too ' Bright '" in which he stated that, although he agreed with the movement, Richard Dawkins ' and Daniel Dennett's " campaign to rename religious unbelievers ' brights ' could use some rethinking " because of the possibility that the term would be misinterpreted.

Critics of Dennett's approach, such as David Chalmers and Thomas Nagel, argue that Dennett's argument misses the point of the inquiry by merely re-defining consciousness as an external property and ignoring the subjective aspect completely.

This has led detractors to refer to Dennett's book Consciousness Explained as Consciousness Ignored or Consciousness Explained Away.
