Sinopse
What is human consciousness, and how is it possible? This question fascinates thinking people from poets and painters to physicists, psychologists, and philosophers. From Bacteria to Bach and Back is Daniel C. Dennett's brilliant answer, extending perspectives from his earlier work in surprising directions, exploring the deep interactions of evolution, brains, and human culture.
Part philosophical whodunit, part bold scientific conjecture, this landmark work enlarges themes that have sustained Dennett's legendary career at the forefront of philosophical thought. In his inimitable style - laced with wit and arresting thought experiments - Dennett shows how culture enables reflection by installing a bounty of thinking tools, or memes, in our brains. Language, itself composed of memes, turbocharged this interplay. The result, a mind that can comprehend the questions it poses, emerges from a process of cultural evolution.
An agenda-setting book for a new generation of philosophers and other researchers, From Bacteria to Bach and Back will delight and entertain anyone who hopes to understand human creativity in all its wondrous applications.

weak arguments, irrelevant examples
narration is good. nothing else is of value within the third of the book i punished myself through. i'm pro evolutionary biology and pro information theory, but i found plenty of weak incoherent arguments, goes on-and-on through countless irrelevant examples: see the bogus analogy of an elevator operating script to evolutionary living organisms. i can think of tons of relevant examples he could've used instead. another endless sage of futile examples is to find correlation between Shannon's noise-channel theory with living systems, maybe the actual point is if you shotgun enough, you'll eventually find some
similarity. i suspect the author is eager to torture the reader, yet i don't hate myself enough to have listened through the remaining 2/3. My take away: Danny Dennett tries to emulate from Darwin to Dawkins and David Deutsch but cannot.
