| Various Authors | Dennett Vs Various Authors | I 87 DennettVsDavies, Paul: ("God’s plan"): the human mind cannot be an unimportant byproduct. Dennett: why should it be unimportant or trivial merely because it is a byproduct? Fallacy, error. Why can the most important thing of all not be something that has emerged from something unimportant?. I 192 DennettVsSnow: was wrong when he compared scientific discoveries with Shakespeare: Shakespeare belongs only to himself, scientific achievement belongs to all. E.g. Why is there no copyright on the successful multiplication of two numbers?. I 244 DennettVsSmolin/Parallel Universes: Problem: there are too few limitations on what should be described as obvious variations and why. I 333 GhiselinVsPangloss Principle: is bad because it asks the wrong question: the question of what is good. Instead, we should ask "What happened?". I 692 DennettVsGhiselin: he deceived himself: there is never a clear answer to this question that does not greatly depends on what we like!. General/Particular/AI/Dennett: Donald Symons: there is no "general problem solver", because there are no general problems, only particular problems. DennettVsSymons: What was that? Neither is there a general wound, but only particular wounds. Nevertheless, there is a general healing process. II 23/24 Consciousness/Language/Dennett: There is a view that certain beings could possess a consciousness, but due to their lack of language they cannot inform us about it. DennettVs: why do I think that is a problem? E.g. The computer can also be function if no printer is connected. Our royal road to getting to know the minds of others is language. It does not reach all the way to them, but that’s just a limitation of our knowledge, but not a limitation of their minds. Sai V 77 Identity/Sainbury: no vague relation. DennettVsSainsbury: identity is no relation!. |
