Dennett, bestselling author of Breaking the Spell; University Professor and Austin B. Fletcher Professor of Philosophy and Co-Director of the Center for Cognitive Studies at Tufts University "Delightful. ... Lucid intellectual hors d'oeuvres that deserve rereading." -- Kirkus Reviews "Brockman's array of contributors and subject matter makes for an often lively collection." -- Publishers Weekly
