Trade Review"Our best current philosopher. He is the next Bertrand Russell. Unlike traditional philosophers, Dan is a student of neuroscience, linguistics, artificial intelligence, computer science, and psychology. He’s redefining and reforming the role of the philosopher." -- Marvin Minsky
"One of the most original thinkers of our time." -- Michael Shermer - Science
"The sharpest, cleverest, most stylish prober of how issues of human consciousness interconnect today with evolutionary theory." -- Carlin Romano - Philadelphia Inquirer
"Once in a blue moon an analytic philosopher comes along who redeems his subdiscipline by combining professional persnicketiness with a romantic spirit, a vivid imagination, and a sense of humor…One of our most original and most readable philosophers." -- Richard Rorty
"Cloaked in the breezy, familiar trappings of a self-help book,
