Researches and Main Ideas
In his book "Boston zombie: D.Dennett and his theory of consciousness" Dmitriy Volkov studied the problem of intentionality considering arguments of Dennett, John Searle and Vasiliev. He analyzed the Multiple Drafts Model proposed by Dennett in the opposition to "Cartesian theater". Volkov also noticed that Dennett's arguments disproving some intellectual experiments (Monochrome Mary, Philosophical Zombie) are not always most suitable. Apart from that, the book also addresses the concept of subjectiveness as the center of narrative gravity. According to Sergey Merzlyakov, scholar of Scientific Research Lab of the MSU Faculty of Economics, the Volkov's book is the most complete and accurate research of Dennett's concept.[32]
