[QUOTE="Bradskii, post: 77657798, member: 412388"] Significantly so in my opinion. My view as well. I struggle with much of his arguments in this respect. His argument re 'the worst possible world' as a starting point for determining morality rings a bell with me. Immoral acts are ones that cause harm. And I'm tempted to say on ocassions 'Well, that is plainly and obviously harmfull' so it would always be immoral under those exact circumstances. Objectively so. But I don't think that's what people mean by objective morality. And then we're down to different definitions and interpretations. I'll give him some leeway on that. It was recorded just a few weeks before he died. Maybe he knew he was ill. And Sapolski had made a few comments regarding his dissapointment with some knee-jerk responses to his book and mentioned Dennett specifically as someone who seemed not to have understood the points he was making. Quite politely I must say. But I think Dan took offence. But then again, he was always something of a contrary individual. [/QUOTE]
