Daniel Dennett - Kinds of Minds

[hexag1]

Even more for you Daniel Dennett junkies out there.
This time its his awesome 1997 book "Kinds of Minds: Towards and Understanding of Consciousness"


This goes into WAY more detail than the last consciousness lecture I posted. Basically he's outlining a story of how consciousness could have evolved, beginning with self replicating molecules, and working his way carefully up to the human brain. This is just the audio version of the book, read by Dennett himself. I've added an amateurish montage of vaguely relevant images. Enjoy.
