Mathieu Doucet on Philosophers in Administrative Positions

Another Canadian to add is David DeVidi, Associate Vice President Academic,
University of Waterloo

Teed Rockwell on Philosophers: Stop Being Self-Indulgent and Start Being Like
Daniel Dennett, says Daniel Dennett

historians of science still study phrenology and its failures tell us a lot
about why science is better now than it used to be.

Rob Wilson on Daniel Dennett (1942-2024)

Dan Dennett is very high on my list of favourite people in philosophy. Here are
some personal vignettes that indicate why.   Dan gave a talk at Cornell […]

Sean Sanyal on Daniel Dennett (1942-2024)

The world has lost a towering intellect. His wisdom changed my life forever, I
will never forget him. This loss feels very personal even though […]

Mick D Coleman on Daniel Dennett (1942-2024)

When you talk about yourself as "nobody", you discredit yourself and anyone who
saw your potential.

Antonio on Daniel Dennett (1942-2024)

V. Alan White on Daniel Dennett (1942-2024)

I echo the many tremendous tributes here. Besides enjoying his presentations at
APAs, Consciousness Explained and Elbow Room had profound influence on my
thinking.

Antonio on Daniel Dennett (1942-2024)

I am very sad for this loss. His latest Ted Talk summarizes his accrued view of
thought: The 4 biggest ideas in Philosophy. Daniel Dennett.

Antonio on Daniel Dennett (1942-2024)

Fully agreed.

Matthew Murphy on Daniel Dennett (1942-2024)

We will not fully understand the magnitude of this loss for a long time.
Undoubtedly one of the most brilliant philosophers of our time.
