Keith Frankish sides with Daniel Dennett on the subject of phenomenal consciousness, so it isn't that surprising.
On the contrary readers are dodging a massive bullet there imho.

> I've been asked why Chalmers's The Conscious Mind wasn't one of my Five Books on Phil Mind The answer is that I limited myself to one consciousness book & for me that had to be CE. But I admire TCM & it would have been one of my Five Books on Consciousness

Similarly, I’d put Nagel’s “What It’s like to be a Bat” as required reading in that group as well.
^ Agree. This is a great paper.
