{{br|Consciousness Explained}} is a hard, but rewarding, book. It pays to have a look at {{br|Darwin’s Dangerous Idea}} first; some of the ideas Daniel Dennett expounds there, particularly on the nature of [[algorithm]]ic progression, are useful for getting a handle on Dennett’s central theme in {{br|Consciousness Explained}}. Dennett’s views in each are really quite closely related. However, the “intuitive gap” (i.e., the distance in credibility between what Dennett proposes and how things “seem” intuitively) is huge in the case of consciousness, but comparatively small for {{t|evolution}}. | {{br|Consciousness Explained}} is a hard, but rewarding, book.
