I think I always found Dennett’s general approach quite plausible (albeit a bit too “hasty” in its proposed reductions; see footnote 222), though I hadn’t read other illusionist accounts prior to beginning this investigation. For me, reading Frankish made a bigger difference to my confidence in illusionism than any particular neuroscience papers or books.
Personally, I find discussions of p-zombies somewhat unhelpful, but for those steeped in that literature, it might be a useful set of concepts for explaining illusionism. My first recommendation would still be Frankish’s papers, though.
