How unfair for one man to be blessed with such a torrent of stimulating thoughts. Stimulating is an understatement. * Richard Dawkins * Unlike traditional philosophers, Daniel Dennett is a student of neuroscience, linguistics, artificial intelligence, computer science, and psychology. He's redefining and reforming the role of the philosopher. -- Marvin Minsky Dennett has earned his reputation as one of today's most readable, intellectually nimble and scientifically literate philosophers. * Nature * There seems to be no stopping Daniel Dennett.
