Daniel C. Dennett is Distinguished Arts and Science Professor and Director of the Centre for Cognitive Studies at Tufts University. Although his areas of specialization are cognitive science, philosophy of mind and philosophy of psychology, he has published on most philosophical topics. Professor Dennett has also brought his work to a wider audience, most notably with The Mind's Eye, co-authored with Douglas Hofstadter, and his bestselling Consciousness Explained.
The main objective in this program is to provide an overview of Professor Quine's major philosophical doctrines, and to invite hime to comment on how he views these doctrines now. The areas considered include his early association with logical positivism, his notorious scepticism about meaning, his stance on epistemology and ontology, and his characterization of philosophy as a part of, or continuous with, science.
