2. Read the text.

3. Write a summary of the model or metaphor Dennett is proposing with your partmer (no more than half a page). Use your own words, paraphrase, do not quote. If you had any disagreement with your partner while thinking about the summary, explain it/them.

4. Discuss and answer the following questions (in the order you choose. Please, do not copy the questions in your paper. You should respond to all of them, but focusing on those you find more interesting):

-What are the main differences between the model of consciousness Dennett has developed and the “Cartesian Theater”?

-Does it support the view of the subject (= of ourselves) as sovereign and self-transparent?

-What are the advantages/disadvantages of this model?

-Does it allow you to account for your own experience of yourself?

-Why there is so much resistance to abandon the Cartesian model?
