True, he did. And he also famously said that philosophy is dead …
Did he say that? I never heard that one. I know that Stephen Hawking said “philosophy is dead” on the very first page of one of his books, and then proceeded to write an entire book that was nothing but philosophy. It confirmed Dennett’s point that science is shot through with philosophy, even though it seems many scientists, even Hawking, don’t realize that. Other philosophers, like Norman Swartz, have stressed the same point.
