Rest in peace Daniel Dennett, here is one of his best short essays on the topic of ontology, both with respect to beliefs, but also everything else too. It is titled ‘Real Patterns’. ruccs.rutgers.edu/images/persona…

Profiling Dan Dennett was one of the peak experiences of my life. It wasn't just that his thinking changed mine, but that he was an inspiring human being, full of curiosity, vitality, and creativity. We should all try to be a little more like Dan. newyorker.com/magazine/2017/…

Daniel Dennett's work, especially Consciousness Explained and The Intentional Stance, was a great inspiration to me and permeated pretty much everything I did during my time as an academic philosopher. I met him a few times, and he was always interesting and thought-provoking.

I was lucky enough to interview Daniel Dennett (1942 - 2024) for ⁦@five_books⁩ last year. I realised at the time this might be one of his last interviews fivebooks.com/best-books/dan…

Daniel Dennett is dead. He was my favorite philosopher, and I especially loved Darwin’s Dangerous Idea, which clicked for me just how powerful evolution is. It sure feels like humanity has been taking a lot of body blows recently 😞 We need our greatest minds with us!

Very sad to see this news about Daniel Dennett. His two books Consciousness Explained and Darwin’s Dangerous Idea are probably the main reasons why I have ended up doing what I’m doing dailynous.com/2024/04/19/dan…

I know he fought the myth of individual genius and believed that thinking is deeply collaborative, a mutual "infection" of memes (he wanted to title his memoirs "𝑊𝑒've been thinking"). But what an incredibly smart, generous, wise man he was. I'll miss him dearly. #DanielDennett

RIP Daniel Dennett. He was the best kind of philosopher—empirically-minded, skeptical of “intuition pumps,” and eminently readable. His idea of Darwinism as a “universal acid,” a substance that eats through everything, has been deeply influential on me. amazon.com/DARWINS-DANGER…

One of the greatest minds of our times has died. This is a huge blow to the fields of philosophy, morality, consciousness and intelligence. I adored his teachings even though sometimes it took me years to get them. His ideas will live on. @danieldennett

We're so sorry to learn that our dear colleague, honorary FFRF Director Daniel C. Dennett, a "fiery atheist philosopher," has died at 82. He made great contributions to our understanding of consciousness and generously lent support to freethought ideals. telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/202…

Really sorry to hear about the passing of Daniel Dennett. A truly great philosopher. It was a great pleasure & honour to spend a week on a boat with him in the arctic ten years ago, and to argue with him on BBC last year. Same age as my dad, who passed away earlier this year.
