Well, I've thought of it as a philosophy book.  I'm not saying it simply to diss him, heck I've got a philosophy degree, but it doesn't read like science to me...rather philosophical speculation based on science.  Nothing wrong with that at all, but not science.

To me it was a bit more than philosophy book; I liked it in part because he discussed the individuals (Gould. Lewontin). Dennett is a philosopher but DDI was very different in tone from "Consciousness Explained". A lot of was about evolution per see with long discussions of adaptation etc. He obviously brought a philosopher's training to this book but I remember (I haven't read it in about 4 years) as a book about aspects of evolution
