Oh man. What a loss.
Farewell Dan Dennett. A brave and beautiful mind..The world is sure to become a dumber place without you,
RIP Prof Dennett.
I don't agree with him but loved to watch him to challenge myself. He was such a pure men. Rest in peace
The limits of language
RIP Daniel Dennett
🙏🙏🙏Sorry to hear of his passing🙁
Oil painting too.
I guess that what he's saying is: do not waste time trying to define everything, debate what matters. The issue itself.
Not that definitions aren't useful, but they don't solve the issue at hand.

Thank you for doing this about Dan Dennet. I absolutely loved his approach to philosophy. I considered him a living philosopher, which is so rare. Even though he was an atheist he was a deeply spiritual man- as he appreciated art and beauty- but he never broke with reason which I found to be inspiring.
RIP
Dan was an advisor of mine at tufts. Pour one out for this gem of a human
Kurt…that is a beautiful thing you did just there❤
Think it's fair to say we've lost one of our generations greatest – RIP sir and thank you for your contributions. My condolences to his family and friends.
Thanks Curt, appreciate what you do. All the best.
Don't RIP. Come back the sooner you can to keep enlightening us.
❤❤❤❤
Wanting to define everything all the time reminds me of all those discussions about free will.
Discussions about free will seem to have the opposite problem: Often they lack a proper definition, and people mistake voluntary choice with free will, because that is what is meant with free will in justice and psychology … 🤔
Of course you can take this further and ask: What is will? Or: What is Freedom? 😅
The other extreme is not defining anything and everyone talking past each other … ?🙃
Beautiful and gentle human being 🕊️
Don’t agree with Dennett here on definition, mostly. The topic was my speciality while complete the half a PhD in Philosophy I completed. Generally, didn’t agree with much he said on the major classic philosophical problems. Yet, appreciated Dennett’s popularization of many of these problems.
As a biologist, I care a lot about the questions he says biologists don't care about, and I don't think I am the only one. Of course, we usually don't try to answer these questions a priori, but through the study of real living beings. Sometimes we speculate, though, and there's nothing wrong with that,. I don't think good philosophers are very different. Caring about precise definitions can be very helpful, if you really want to understand the "phenomena".
You state: "Main Episode with Daniel Dennett (2023)" Yet your title has "Final Words on Thinking Differently". Come on man. Why use his popularity for more exposure to your channel in that way? Kinda weird.
To presume that a form of philosophy is a waste of life, is to presume that one knows what a valuable, or worthwhile, life is. Some people may say that sculpting is a waste of precious time in life. I remember hearing once from a person who worked with hospice, that she learned that different people enjoy different things, and one can't decide what would be enjoyable, or meaningful for someone else at the end of their life. She said she had a man who thoroughly enjoyed eating chocolate ice cream and watching television. To her that was wasting the last precious moments of life, but to him, it was doing his favorite things, And it made him happy.
I've said this soo many times in many debate and theist channels, that we don't need to define terns because you will never finish argueing about the first term or second term and the entire time will be over, so no time will be spent on the actual arguments. almost all the time was wasted on defining terms
RIP

"Behold! A man!"
Who is the real Atheist? The priest or preachers who want your money when they need it. And want to pray for you when you need money.
But people study to graduate and make a PhD to get tenure. Most people do not care about philosophical progress but about the number of papers they publish.
Will miss him.
His materistic determinism was dead too
