Answer

Yes, Dennett is an American philosopher. Most notably, he is a proponent of the "multiple drafts" model of consciousness. This model suggests that consciousness is not a single, unified phenomenon, but rather a series of drafts or stages that occur over time. Dennett argues that this model can help to explain how we are able to make sense of the world around us and to act in a purposeful manner.
