Daniel Dennett - Where Am I?
Update: 2024-12-02
Description
This short story entitled Where Am I? by philosopher and cognitive scientist Daniel Dennett really made my head spin. It is the fascinating tale of a fictional character whose brain and body are separated by radio transmitters. So many questions and scenarios are played out and examined by Dennett in this story. Are we the body? Are we the brain? Are we just the point of view that comes from experience happening thru the body?
There are no easy answers to these questions, but this was a really fun story and will hopefully give you as much to think about as it did me.
