Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: âA philosopher of rare originality, rigor, and wit.â âJim Holt, Wall Street Journal Over a storied career, Daniel C. Dennett has engaged questions about science and the workings of the mind. His answers have combined rigorous argument with strong empirical grounding. And a lot of fun. Intuition Pumps and Other Tools for Thinking offers seventy-seven of Dennettâs most successful âimagination-extenders and focus-holdersâ meant to guide you through some of lifeâs most treacherous subject matter: evolution, meaning, mind, and free will. With patience and wit, Dennett deftly deploys his thinking tools to gain traction on these thorny issues while offering listeners insight into how and why each tool was built. Alongside well-known favorites like Occamâs Razor and reductio ad absurdum lie thrilling descriptions of Dennettâs own creations: Trapped in the Robot Control Room, Beware of the Prime Mammal, and The Wandering Two-Bitser. Ranging across disciplines as diverse as psychology, biology, computer science, and physics, Dennettâs tools embrace in equal measure light-heartedness and accessibility as they welcome uninitiated and seasoned listeners alike. As always, his goal remains to teach you how to âthink reliably and even gracefully about really hard questions.â A sweeping work of intellectual seriousness thatâs also studded with impish delights, Intuition Pumps offers intrepid thinkersâin all walks of lifeâdelicious opportunities to explore their pet ideas with new powers.
