#Zoomposium with Professor Dr. #Daniel #Dennett: “A #naturalistic #view on #consciousness

The #philosophical #concept of supposed #naturalistic #monism is currently the basis of most approaches to elucidating the phenomenon of #consciousness in the research field of #cognitive #neuroscience, which attempt to #reduce #mental states to #physical #states.

I just discovered Daniel Dennett has passed away last week. 😔

With some online support, I've translated to Portuguese an article he wrote on 'How to make mistakes'

There's nothing more grave done by schools than teaching us to be afraid of making mistakes.

I'm adding in the replies the link to the version in Portuguese.

RIP

Dennett's (2014) 4 step approach to critical commentary: themarginalian.org/2014/03/28/

1.You should attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly, and fairly that your target says, “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it that way.”

2. You should list any points of agreement.

3. You should mention anything you have learned from your target.

4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.
