'Some people felt that his practical outlook blinded him to the magic of the world. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. He saw the world as full of magic — real magic, he would say, the sort that is not really magic but a natural effect so finely crafted as to be wondrous to us.'
Award winning author Daniel Dennett was one of the greatest philosophers of our time. Shooting to notoriety as one of the 'four horsemen' in the New Atheist movement, he wrote with acclaim on topics ranging from free will, consciousness and the self.
In this exclusive interview, find out how Daniel's life shaped his ideas.
