From the same site as the Dennett interview. Listening to him speak, I couldn't help but think that if he had a immanescent paradigm of reality rather than a...
Will, excellent points in both occasions! What people like Lorenzo and Dennett seem to overlook (not sure if intentionally or not) is the fact that 1) human...
This interview is interesting to me from other points of view as well. I just happen to be almost done reading both Wright's books cited in the reference ("The...
