À propos de cet audio

In a book that is both groundbreaking and accessible, Daniel C. Dennett, whom Chet Raymo of The Boston Globe calls "one of the most provocative thinkers on the planet", focuses his unerringly logical mind on the theory of natural selection, showing how Darwin's great idea transforms and illuminates our traditional view of humanity's place in the universe. Dennett vividly describes the theory itself and then extends Darwin's vision with impeccable arguments to their often surprising conclusions, challenging the views of some of the most famous scientists of our day.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Not what I expected

I’m not a scientist but a very interested lay person in Darwin and his theory of evolution. For me it explains a lot and I am fascinated to read good books about it. Sadly I didn’t find this added to my knowledge that much. It was too academic with many citations of various people who have said various things about Homo sapiens, the universe, the science of evolution and religion over decades and even centuries. I wasn’t interested in hearing quote after quote. The actual content that I got out of this was very slim and considering it was 27 hours of listening, I found it quite a slog to get through. The major theme I took away from this book was that the author was mounting a defence of the theory. Since I am already a believer in the idea, I didn’t need to go through all the attacks. The description says that this book is “accessible” to the public. I’m not so sure. I found large parts of it boring as if the author had something to prove amongst his colleagues and he was really directing this book to them, not the public. The narration was well done.

Great for those who are familiar with the subject

This is a fantastic book for those who have some background in the social / cognitive sciences, appreciate academic rigour as well as theories that are able to have consequences across a variety of disciplines

If that’s what you’re into, all 27 hours of narration by Kevin Stillwellmakes this read quite enjoyable!

Excellent very looooong book

Was hesitant to give a five stars due to the overwhelming length of this book. Yet every time I am about to become too bored by what appears to be repetitive statements with slightly changed circumstances, suddenly an awesome thought or question is p
resented. Very rich in questions and ideas that shows the breadth and depth of Daniel in this field. Being from a computer science background I particularly enjoyed the chapter on Chomsky, Turing, & von Neumann . Also, the critique of Gould work was very informative. Excellent work overall from Dennett. A summarized version may be more appreciated by the larger public.
