Description
Daniel C. Dennett's memoir offers a unique glimpse into the mind of one of philosophy's most influential thinkers. Spanning his remarkable career and lifelong scientific pursuits, Dennett reflects on the fundamental mysteries of the mind, from free will to consciousness. Throughout his journey, Dennett engages with an array of prominent thinkers, whose ideas have shaped his own convictions about the nature of the mind and consciousness. This memoir is not just a personal account, but also a masterclass in the dominant themes of twentieth-century philosophy and cognitive science. With characteristic warmth and wit, Dennett shares stories from his life, including his love of sculpture, music, farming, and deep connection to family. A thought-provoking exploration of what it means to think, and how we can balance our pursuit of knowledge with a fulfilling life, I've Been Thinking is a compelling read for anyone interested in philosophy, science, or simply the human experience.
