Daniel Dennett is a close look at one of the most significant living American philosophers. The book is part of Cambridge University Press's Contemporary Philosophy in Focus series, which highlights today's major philosophers. Indeed, Dennett's writings have had enormous consequences for our understanding of artificial intelligence, game theory, neuroscience, and developmental psychology, among other matters.
The book does not require an intimate knowledge of Dennett's work nor a specialist's interest in the philosophy of mind. Instead, editors Andrew Brook and Don Ross have assembled a disparate group of contributors to elucidate "the influence Dennett has had beyond the bounds of academic philosophy." Readers will find an insightful overview of Dennett's philosophy, as well as expert explanations of his significance in a variety of fields. The book is in some respects a tribute to Dennett--the introduction is a fond perspective on a great mind--but the essays themselves engage Dennett's thought with respectful criticism even while they demonstrate his importance. --Eric de Place
Review
"...one of the most succinct and engaging overviews of Dennett's stance currently available. Indeed, for anyone looking for a helpful companion to his or her initial engagement with Dennett's own writings, I know of no better place to start." Metapsychology Online Book Reviews
