I´ve Been Thinking

I´ve Been Thinking
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.
