Thinking is hard - yet barely a waking moment passes when we´re not labouring away at it. A few of us may be natural geniuses, able to work through the toughest tangles in an instant; others, blessed with reserves of willpower, stay the course in the dogged pursuit of truth. Then there´s the rest of us. Not prodigies and a little bit lazy, but still aspiring to understand the world and our place in it. What can we do?
In Intuition Pumps, Daniel Dennett, one of the world´s most original and provocative thinkers, takes us on a profound, illuminating and highly entertaining philosophical journey. He reveals a collection of his favourite thinking tools, or ´intuition pumps´, that he and others have developed for addressing life´s most fundamental questions. Along with new discussions of familiar moves - Occam´s Razor, reductio ad absurdum - Dennett offers cognitive tools built for the most treacherous subject matter: evolution, meaning, consciousness and free will. In his genial style, Dennett guides readers around the pitfalls in arguments, and reveals easier ways to better understand the world around us and our place in it.
An enlightening and practical store of knowledge, Intuition Pumps and Other Tools for Thinking will teach you to think truly independently and creatively.
