Daniel Dennett (R+I+P), DPhil, on Consciousness, Virtual Immortality, and Panpsychism

From Closer to Truth, a secular source.


Daniel Dennett discusses the nature of consciousness, if consciousness is an illusion, artificial intelligence and virtual immortality, and how he covers all of this in his book, Just Deserts: Debating Free Will, co-authored with Gregg D. Caruso. Daniel Clement Dennett was a philosopher, writer, and cognitive scientist whose research centered on the philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and philosophy of biology, particularly as those fields relate to evolutionary biology and cognitive science.
