Content and Consciousness 
Dennett, Daniel
New York, 1969
 
First edition, first printing - American issue comprised of the sheets printed in England and released shortly after the U.K. edition. The American philosopher and scientist’s first book - an important work in the field of cognition. A Near Fine, unclipped dust jacket - two small water spots on the upper spine, small closed tear on the bottom of the rear cover, and general minute wear - an attractive example. The book has a small ding at the bottom of the rear board else it’s Fine, appearing virtually unread.
 
“…an original and ground-breaking attempt to elucidate a problem integral to the history of Western philosophical thought: the relationship of the mind and body. In this formative work, Dennett sought to develop a theory of the human mind and consciousness based on new and challenging advances in the field that came to be known as cognitive science. This important and illuminating work is widely regarded as the book from which all of Dennett’s future ideas developed. It is his first explosive rebuttal of Cartesian dualism and one of the founding texts of philosophy of mind.”(Taylor and Francis)
