Into this fray ridesonce again the tireless figure of Daniel
Dennett...whose new book, Sweet Dreams: Philosophical Obstacles to
a Science of Consciousness is a collection of essays devoted mainly
to identifying and pummeling those diehard intuitions that he
believes, rightly, still obstruct the progress of cognitive
neuroscience.
*The New Scientist*
In characteristically playful mode, Darwinian fundamentalist Daniel
Dennett turns his opposition's arguments against them in a
masterful display of philosophical judo...He is on his way to
becoming the Herbert Spencer of our age, the man of ideas who can
bridge radition and science, giving us a sense of how it is that
the robot in the mirror is really us.
