Daniel Clement Dennett III (born March 28, 1942) is an American philosopher, writer, and cognitive scientist whose research centers on the philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and philosophy of biology, particularly as those fields relate to evolutionary biology and cognitive science. As of 2017, he is the co-director of the Center for Cognitive Studies and the Austin B. Fletcher Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University.
In this interview with Gad Saad he talks about the downfalls of postmodernism. Full interview, quoted under fair use:
You link did not work for me. Here it is again.
Dennett is brilliant and funny, but clearly he is speaking off the cuff and his admission of respect for what Richard Rorty said plus his little anecdote about Foucault's conversation with Searle suggest his interest in the ideas behind the baroque texts of post modernism.
Derrida, or someone else was also asked why they wrote such dense texts. He answered similar to Foucault but he also intimated that the thoughts that a philosopher sweats out over the course of a lifetime of work and study ought not to be simply absorbed as eating canapes.
Postmodernism is alive and well, there is no totalizing meta narrative.
That is well and good, for you perhaps. We shall see where that gets you.
