RESUMEN
El presente trabajo explora, a partir de las ideas de Daniel Dennett y Douglas Hofstadter, qué es el Yo, qué es la conciencia y qué vínculo mantienen ambos con el cerebro. El punto central es cuáles son las ilusiones del Yo y de la conciencia, cómo llegan a producirse y cuáles son los ejes para comprender nuestra habitual resistencia a desarmarlas. El Yo es considerado un mito poderoso aunque, a la vez, desde una perspectiva funcionalista, una herramienta indispensable en nuestra vida cotidiana y en nuestras explicaciones acerca de nosotros mismos y los otros.
ABSTRACT
Departing from Daniel Dennett's and Douglas Hofstadter's ideas, the present paper explores what the self and consciousness are and puts forward a possible explanation of their relationship with the brain. The paper deconstructs the illusions of my self and those of my consciousness, how they are produced and which the key elements to understand our reluctance to see ourselves as brains are. The self is considered a powerful myth but, at the same time, from a functionalist perspective, also an indispensable device in our daily life and in our explanations about others and about ourselves.
