'Who would have guessed that a philosopher's life could be so full of adventures?'

Daniel C. Dennett, philosopher and cognitive scientist, has spent his career considering consciousness. I've Been Thinking traces the development of Dennett's own intellect and instructs us how we too can become good thinkers.

Dennett's restless curiosity leads him from his childhood in Beirut to Harvard, and from Parisian jazz clubs to 'tillosophy' on his tractor in Maine. Along the way, he encounters and debates with a host of legendary thinkers, and reveals the breakthroughs and misjudgments that shaped his paradigm-shifting philosophies. Thinking, Dennett argues, is hard, and risky. In fact, all good philosophical thinking is inevitably accompanied by bafflement, frustration and self-doubt. It is only in getting it wrong that we, very occasionally, find a way to get it right.

This memoir by one of the greatest philosophers of our time will speak to anyone who seeks a life of the mind with adventure and creativity.

Recensies van critici

'How unfair for one man to be blessed with such a torrent of stimulating thoughts. Stimulating is an understatement.' (Richard Dawkins)

'Unlike traditional philosophers, Daniel Dennett is a student of neuroscience, linguistics, artificial intelligence, computer science, and psychology. He's redefining and reforming the role of the philosopher.' (Marvin Minsky)

Meest relevant
I've been a big fan of Dennett's ouvre; I vividly remember reading and enjoying his Darwin's dangerous idea during my PhD years. This book however, does not reach those heights, which is understandable given the autobiographical nature of this work. I would have liked the author to skip some of the more inconsequential, from my point of view, personal adventures and spend more time on philosophical debates. Having said that, I still enjoyed this book, and would recommend it, though not in the strongest terms, to anyone who is already deeply familiar with the many philosophical contributions of Dennett and is curious about his interpersonal relationships. For anyone else, just read Darwin's dangerous idea or From Bacteria to Bach.
