What makes a philosophical mind? In conversation with Dan Dennett

Nick Spencer speaks with renowned philosopher Daniel Dennett. 14/11/2023

For over 50 years now, Dan Dennett has written highly–praised, thoughtfully and provocatively on major philosophical issues.

His ideas about consciousness, evolution, freedom – and, of course, theism – have provoked wonder and anger.

In this week’s episode, Nick Spencer speaks to Dan Dennett, about philosophy, Darwinism, naturalism and theism.
