Book Review, “From Bacteria to Bach and Back: The Evolution of Minds” by Daniel C. Dennett


Book Review, “From Bacteria to Bach and Back: The Evolution of Minds” by Daniel C. Dennett

Let me be honest in this philosophical review: I’m more of a fanatic than an academic professional, yet there’s something alluring about Dennett’s style of progress as he arrives at ideas surrounding the mind’s factory. He speaks of the consciousness I’m not afraid of, since it can be my job as a poet to express whatever Dennett indicates in special analysis- the progressive character humanity achieves at getting without really obvious beliefs. In fact, religious philosophy may be possible although a thinker of such a category turns out to be a victim of hallucinations and practical schizophrenia. When Dennett serves as a remarkable spectator of enthusiasm on YouTube and exclusive video sources, I tend to agree on his notion that consciousness is not so mysterious. Maybe we often say consciousness is mysterious because humans have so many kinds of competences on their languages, although- as I’ve discovered from determining quality and parental affordances in my poetry- it’s important to nourish our minds by not being so explicit about comprehension. (So in other words, how can philosophers not be mean when they “mean” something on their meaning?) You can take the same image, such as the image of the fictional flag, and see some different things if you continue on Dennett’s eyesight-experiment. Perhaps it’s possible to order up on words with mistaken definitions; in fact, Japanese writing is practically like making art since I’ve seen Japanese paintings with fancy-looking kanji. Images can be mistaken; they can act like a mirage, turning and twisting in the light before we realize, ‘Oh, imagination is powerful.’ Are mistaken ideas exactly like imagination or just specific hints related to intellect? Dennett doesn’t think that sleeping people influence energetic people, not even on their communication, which leads me to believe that culture can be such a picky thing as people get aroused or bored from their affordances. You see, Dennett is pretty wild and happy when it comes to George Carlin’s words. I get afraid of his situation. Little, quick words tend to act as operating features from the speakers, who in turn act as operators because of their words. George Carlin’s schooling was pretty minimal and I’m not sure if I would’ve allowed that kind of operator to perform surgery on me or to ask his own consciousness for the humorous approval. Nonetheless, Dennett is very light on his treatment of a comedian’s alluring ideas. So what’s my goal if I’m not an official philosopher? Reading books and the importance of studying can’t be understated unless we don’t realize enough words. Dennett expresses so much in his varying opinions that I begin to wonder why the survival of humanity is such mandatory phenomena; if we look at Dennett’s book with unrestricted theories and some priorities, our words will seem to come out of nowhere.
