I really shouldn't be giving stars to my own book, but it seems to be a requirement here.

Two clarifications:

1. It is true that I don't engage Dave Chalmers views in the book. Dave's book appeared about 5 years after mine.
2. The title *Consciousness Reconsidered* has understandably led some to think that it is primarily a response to Dennett's *Consciousness Explained.* It isn't, altho. I do engage some of Dan's arguments. My book was published soon after Dan's & most of my issues w/Dan relate to papers (alto. along w/Ned Block, I discussed Dan's forthcoming book w/him and others on a regular basis. But responding to and/or offering an alternative view to Dennett was not my aim. In fact my view on *consciousness* was sketched out in the long new chapter in *The Science of the Mind* published in 1991.
