Competence without comprehension
« on: June 30, 2017, 07:56:21 AM »

Review of Daniel Dennett's latest book. While I think some of criticisms are valid, I am bemused that someone citing Nagel approvingly on the difficulty in knowing what it is like to be a bat is quite so clear on what it is like to be a zebra and indeed all animals.
