Integration: When we assess the theories proposed by Chalmers and Dennett, we should consider the validity behind those statements as well as analyze them with skepticism. After reading Dennett’s theory of consciousness, Gould would probably say that Dennett should not have drawn his conclusions so arbitrarily. Dennett proposed that the mystery with regard to the human mind is solved. However, although he did construct a theory that made sense of how the mind works, he did not provide a sufficient amount of evidence and proof to support it. As Gould mentioned, sometimes humans are flawed to tend to illogically accept misguided theories, so we should be agile and check our beliefs from time to time, so that we could be better systematic inquirers.
