The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast · Ep. 399: Dan Dennett's Model of Mind (Part One) · 31 Aug 2026 podcast

Dennett, Davidson, you know, like Quine, Nagel, it's all just kind of like soupy. podcast-host

But he's actually podcast-host

It's a grue. podcast-host

But he's actually quite an excellent writer, does a very good job of clearly explaining. podcast-host

And like you said, Chris, he's quite self-conscious of what he's doing. podcast-host

And when he's saying things that are going to seem counterintuitive to the point where he's like, make sure you don't sneak this back in and try to take this perspective. podcast-host

The kind of thing that a really... podcast-host

good writer does when they're trying to talk about something that hasn't been talked about before or that is countervailing, you know, against the dominant paradigm or whatever. podcast-host

And I found myself actually, you know, I'm less less excited about the specific debate here, you know, about the ways in which we can be the ways in which consciousness gets constructed because it's all suppositional in some sense. podcast-host

But as we got into the later part, podcast-host

I actually got really excited about this idea of narratives, you know, this kind of concept of a narrative structure, but also, well, I'll just leave it at that and we'll get to it. podcast-host

But yeah, this was fun to me. podcast-host

Dylan, opening thoughts? podcast-host

I thought it was awesome. podcast-host

Yeah, there are a number of different characteristics of what he calls the Cartesian theater that I think he thinks is, podcast-host

One, Dylan, you just kind of pointed out is that the Cartesian theater suggests a kind of passivity of reception that he will go on. podcast-host

And I think he says, you know, the neuroscience is showing that that's not really the way things work. podcast-host

We're not nearly as passive. podcast-host

That there's a single... podcast-host

place or point, a finish line at which all sensations converge to create this theater. podcast-host
