No secret I've been a big fan of Dan Dennett for many years. He published his greatest hits in 2013 (called "Intuition Pumps")
A recommended read - not least because he's the philosopher that has successfully and credibly engaged with so many public scientists, whilst still maintaining his metaphysical philosophical passion. (He has some interesting things to say about scientists who should know better, even tough he was one of the 4 horseman in the science vs faith debates.) Specifically he is very strong in defending a monist stack from primary physics to the highest levels of consciousness, based on understanding how each layer evolves from the layer underneath. I increasingly see Dennett as mainstream thoroughgoing scientific philosophy support for Pirsig's model. Totally debunking so many philosophers paradoxical mind games - sorry, though experiments in the process. Read what he has to say. or skim my opinionated thoughts here: http://www.psybertron.org/?p=6539 http://www.psybertron.org/?p=6547 Ian Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
