Nice!
Sometimes I feel completely irrational. This makes me feel like a proud Amsterdammer.
Yea for one of the few tolerable modern philosophers!!!!
Very well deserved. An artist right up there with Messiaen, Chagall … and “the Austrian people”? I’m not sure what that’s about.
Lots of his articles, going as far back as 1983, can be found here.
Congratulations to Daniel Dennett!
I just picked up his “Breaking the Spell.”
Congratulations to Daniel Dennett! I was recently asked if I was him (by a young Icelandic man), while waiting to get a ticket at Brussels Midi – we do look similar (though I’m a bit younger and a bit slimmer). The thought of pretending I was, only crossed my mind afterwards – I reckon I might have carried it off, having read most of his books. I don’t suppose the prize money is given in cash ;-)
If I’m not mistaken, you were dismissing the whole of philosophy as no better than theology just a few days ago.
Congratulations to Professor Daniel Dennett.
Congrats to Dan Dennett. His explanation of consciousness drove the last nail into the coffin of spiritualism, at least for me.

a personal search for the meaning or religion??? since when!
dudes are obviously trying to gloss over dennett’s outspoken atheism
