Industry Reviews
"Dennett's graceful and witty exposition is unflinchingly rigorous and far from the politically correct."
Washington Post Book World - Curt Suplee (09/01/1996)
"Few American philosophers professors are as widely known or admired outside their discipline, and it's not hard to see why. Dennett's prose is uncommonly vivid, owing more to the masters of popular science writing than to the austere precisions of analytic philosophy."
Voice Literary Supplement - Gideon Rosen (09/16/1996)
"I recommend it to anyone who wishes to know what philosophers are up to these days..."
Literary Review - Roger Scruton (09/19/1996)
"For Mr. Dennett and his colleagues, the brain is all there is, a kind of biological hardware formed from separate modules that have evolved over time for purposes like feeding, fighting, feeling and mating. Consciousness is the software that runs on this jury-rigged machine, tying its separate parts together into a coherent whole."
New York Times Book Review - Nicholas Wade (12/29/1996)
"Mr. Dennett is a philosopher of rare originality, rigor, and wit."
