#1 - Daniel C. Dennett: Consciousness, AI, Free Will, Evolution, & Religion
from Walter Veit Podcast · host Walter Veit
My guest today is Daniel C. Dennett, emeritus Professor at Tufts University and one of the most influential philosophers and cognitive scientists of his generation. He has written several highly influential and acclaimed monographs, such as Consciousness Explained, Freedom Evolves, Darwin's Dangerous Idea, and Breaking the Spell. He has also won notoriety for being one the "Four Horsemen of New Atheism", along with Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris. Today I will talk to Dennett about his recent memoir I’ve Been Thinking, his views on consciousness, free will, religion, the importance of evolution, as well as philosophy itself. I hope you will enjoy this conversation as much as I have.Dennett's memoir: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/443818/ive-been-thinking-by-dennett-daniel-c/9780241519271Dennett's website: https://as.tufts.edu/philosophy/people/faculty/daniel-dennettPODCAST INFO:Podcast website: https://walterveit.com/podcast/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/24OwJWeaWyJqqdfxirnlUUApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/walter-veit-podcast/id1716794567RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/ed331d30/podcast/rssYouTube Full Episodes: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0j8uiNxfku6--y2dho5VPUX3gpyqdnD&si=osLPm4EHx9BLiURNYouTube Clips: https://www.youtube.com/@DrWalterVeit/shortsSUPPORT & CONNECT:Twitter: https://twitter.com/wrwveitInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/walterveit/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-walter-veit-745a1a117/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WalterVeitOfficialPage/Medium: https://walterveit.medium.com/ Get full access to Walter Veit at walterveit.substack.com/subscribe
