[net.philosophy] Brainstorms by Dennett

Daniel Dennett's book Brainstorms is interesting mainly
from the point of view of wondering how someone could 
be soo wrong!  He starts from wondering 'all of us have
had at one time or another...' (rough quote), and goes
on to draw his conclusions.  The problem is, no one else
has had the wonderings he has had!  His assumptions about
how people 'do' imagination are counter intuitive to most
people.  Seeing him speek in person only confirmed this.
