I don't really know how to edit this, but I'm pretty much certain it's not just me that can't make sense of 'In the case of the Chinese Room argument, Dennett argues that the intuitive notion that a person manipulating symbols seems inadequate to constitute any form of consciousness ignores the requirements of memory, recall, emotion, world knowledge and rationality that the system would actually need to pass such a test. ' It really doesn't make sense, does it? I don't mean the ideology, I mean the grammar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.194.180.202 (talk) 22:49, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
"In Consciousness Explained, he uses the term pejoratively to describe John Searle's Chinese room thought experiment, [...]"
I was just watching a talk of Daniel Dennet in which he explicitly says, that he did not meant the term pejoratively.

Watch 40 seconds from that point on and you have a direct source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.13.39.126 (talk) 22:45, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
'Sphexishness'
[edit]It's a great word, but it's pretty obscure. I think it would be worth considering replacing both it and the other 'listicated' terms in the final sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZephyrP (talk • contribs) 20:01, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
Causality problem
[edit]Dennet coined the term in a 1991 book, but apparently also used it in an earlier 1984 book?
Either the second quotation is wrong (or from a later edition of the 1984 book) or the first paragraph needs to be rewritten to say that Dennet *fully defined* the term in 1991 (or whatever he did there that he didn't do in 1984).
Basically someone needs to resolve the temporal paradox here and clarify whatever this section is actually trying to say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-41632-35 (talk) 18:47, 27 July 2026 (UTC)
