Dennett clearly is an important mind. I do not disagree with anything he has opinions on. His belief that "self control is the arena of consciousness and emotional valence is what does all the pushing and pulling", I think expresses the limits of his theory and has some pretty obvious blindspots. I think both of these gentlemen would benefit by a study of islamic philosophy. I only wish the islamic religion was as tangible to me as its philosophy and sociology but I find it completely inscrutable. I might enjoy its theogony and stories if i spoke arabic.
