Publisher Synopsis
Daniel Dennett - Director of The Centre For Cognitive Studies and Austin B. Fletcher Professor of Philosophy, Tufts University"Zawidzki reveals the systematic structure of my work as never before, and shows, just how and why the parts fit together as they do. His exposition is accurate, vivid and fair."Don Ross - Professor of Philosophy, University of Alabama at Brimingham"This is clearly the best introduction to Dennett's thought that has been published so far. It's as good a place for someone to begin their philosophical education as for someone else to enrich one they already have." Read more...
