Praise for Shared Services A Manager's Journey "In Shared Services: A Manager's Journey, Dan presents the real business cultural challenges along with human factors when taking on such a change in a company's processes. A must-read for any executive, manager, or team member who is considering, decided to, or is already in the process of converting a company from a decentralized organization to a shared services environment." -Katherine M. Ericsson Vice President of Membership, Project Management Institute of South Florida and director of a project management office, in a shared services environment within the distribution industry "A how-to/survival guide for those thinking about entering shared services or beginning the journey...for the rest of us, an entertaining look back at our journey both professionally and personally. A great read!" -Steve K. Stone Senior Vice President and CFO, Newspapers and Shared Services Morris Communications Company "Over the past fifteen years, I've had the pleasure of working directly with hundreds of companies who are implementing shared services. What is striking is how very different 'real experiences' are from the stories spun by consultants or keynote speakers at conferences. Getting to the 'real truth' of how to put the pieces together will help you keep consulting fees low and the probability of success high. This book is a practical guide created by someone who has been there. It is the truth!" -Mike Hostetler Managing Director, Shared Services Roundtable Corporate Executive Board
Eterofenomenologia e filosofia della mente in Daniel C. Dennett
Il rapporto tra consapevolezza e cervello (Mind-Body Problem) centrale nella riflessione sul 'mentale' in filosofia e psicologia. L'influente filosofo Daniel Dennett, discutendo una serie di dati sperimentali ottenuti con particolari tecniche di indagine, critica la concezione di un 'Io' centrale, l'idea di identit personale unitaria caratterizzata da continuit della coscienza. Proponendo una metodologia interpretativa detta 'eterofenomenologia', come approccio oggettivo scientifico al mondo introspettivo del parlante (i fenomeni della sua esperienza soggettiva e la sua trama di autonarrazioni), designa il 'S ' come baricentro narrativo del corpo. E definisce 'atteggiamento intenzionale' l'attribuzione di credenze, giudizi, desideri e aspettative, al titolare degli atti linguistici, ritenuto come agente razionale che regola la scelta dei suoi comportamenti. Il rapporto tra l'eterofenomenologo e il soggetto narrante assimilabile alla relazione psicoterapeutica tra terapeuta e paziente. L'originale e singolare teoria di Dennett riveste specifico interesse per filosofi, psicologi, formatori e chiunque opera nel campo delle neuroscienze, della clinica e della didattica.
Irreduzibilität des Bewusstseins und dessen Implikationen bei David J. Chalmers und Daniel C. Dennett
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Philosophie der Gegenwart, Note: 1,7, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit t M nchen (Fakult t f r Philosophie), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Frage nach dem Wesen des Bewusstseins ist eine der zentralen und auch verbl ffendsten Fragen der Menschheit, die wahrscheinlich seit der Zeit gestellt wird, als der Geist im Menschen erwacht ist und nach Erkenntnis rief. In der t glichen Erfahrung ist das Bewusstsein allgegenw rtig und subjektive Erlebnisse sind auf so einer direkten Art und Weise gegeben, dass niemand unter normalen Umst nden deren Existenz in Frage stellen w rde. Die Neurowissenschaften versuchen seit langer Zeit erfolglos, ein Korrelat des Bewusstseins im menschlichen Gehirn zu finden, und es ist fraglich, ob das jemals gelingen kann. Ren Descartes, sah das Bewusstsein gar nicht im Gehirn verortet, sondern postulierte eine res cogitans, eine eigene Substanz des denkenden Geistes, unabh ngig von der res extensa, der K rperwelt. David J. Chalmers, mit dessen 1996 erschienenen Buch "The Conscious Mind - In Search of a Fundamental Theory" diese Bachelorarbeit sich haupts chlich besch ftigt, fragt nach dem subjektiven Charakter des Bewusstseins und dessen Status in einer vor allem naturwissenschaftlich, physikalisch gepr gten Welt. Im Verlauf dieser Arbeit wird sich zeigen, dass die Existenz des Bewusstseins von Chalmers nicht in Frage gestellt wird, aber es schwierig ist, Bewusstsein zu fassen, da es eben nicht aus der Perspektive der dritten Person erkl rt werden kann. Mit Hilfe u. a. des Zombiearguments zeigt er, dass consciousness nicht global logisch ber dem Physikalischen superveniert, nicht auf das Physikalische reduzierbar ist und das der Physikalismus falsch ist. Er beschreibt einen "Naturalistic dualism", einen speziellen Eigenschaftsdualismus der consciousness als grundlegendes Prinzip "over and above" des Physikalismus betrachtet.

Consciousness Explained

In Consciousness Explained, Daniel C. Dennett reveals the secrets of one of the last remaining mysteries of the universe: the human brain.Daniel C. Dennett's now-classic book blends philosophy, psychology and neuroscience - with the aid of numerous examples and thought-experiments - to explore how consciousness has evolved, and how a modern understanding of the human mind is radically different from conventional explanations of consciousness.What people think of as the stream of consciousness is not a single, unified sequence, the author argues, but 'multiple drafts' of reality composed by a computer-like 'virtual machine'. Dennett explains how science has exploded the classic mysteries of consciousness: the nature of introspection, the self or ego and its relation to thoughts and sensations, the problems posed by qualia, and the level of consciousness of non-human creatures. 'Brilliant ... a torrent of stimulating thought' Richard Dawkins 'Revolutionary ... one of the most mentally agile, intellectually resourceful books you are likely to read' Guardian 'A masterful tapestry of deep insights ... Dennett has written a profound and important book that is also clear, exciting and witty' Douglas R. Hofstadter, author of Gödel, Escher, Bach

In Darwin's Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meanings of Life Daniel C. Dennett argues that the theory of evolution can demystify the miracles of life without devaluing our most cherished beliefs. From the moment it first appeared, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection has been controversial: misrepresented, abused, denied and fiercely debated. In this powerful defence of Darwin, Daniel C. Dennett explores every aspect of evolutionary thinking to show why it is so fundamental to our existence, and why it affirms - not threatens - our convictions about the meaning of life. 'Essential and pleasurable for any thinking person'Stephen Pinker 'A surpassingly brilliant book. Where creative, it lifts the reader to new intellectual heights. Where critical, it is devastating'Richard Dawkins 'A brilliant piece of persuasion, excitingly argued and compulsively readable'The Times Higher Education Supplement 'Superb ... This is the best single-author overview of all the implications of evolution by natural selection available ... deserves a place on the bookshelves of every thinking person'John Gribbin, Sunday Times 'Dennett's book brings together science and philosophy with wit, complex clarity and an infectious sense that these ideas matter, to us and the way we live now'A.S. Byatt, Sunday Times Books of the Year Daniel C. Dennett is one of the most original and provocative thinkers in the world. A brilliant polemicist and philosopher, he is famous for challenging unexamined orthodoxies, and an outspoken supporter of the Brights movement. His books include Brainstorms, Brainchildren, Elbow Room, Breaking the Spell, Darwin's Dangerous Idea, Consciousness Explained and Freedom Evolves.

Freedom Evolves

Daniel C. Dennett's Freedom Evolves tackles the most important question of human existence - is there really such a thing as free will? How can humans make genuinely independent choices if we are just a cluster of cells and genes in a world determined by scientific laws? Here, Daniel Dennett provides an impassioned defense of free will. But rather than freedom being an eternal, unchanging condition of our existence, in reality, he reveals, it has evolved: just like life on the planet and the air we breathe. Evolution is the key to resolving this greatest of philosophical questions - and to understanding our place in the world as uniquely free agents. Dennett shows that far from there being an incompatibility between contemporary science and the traditional vision of freedom and morality, it is only recently that science has advanced to the point where we can see how we came to have our unique kind of freedom. 'A serious book with a brilliant message' Matt Ridley, author of The Red Queen 'Powerful and ingenious ... The definitive argument that the human mind is a product of evolution' John Gray, Independent 'A book of sparkling brio and seemingly effortless panache ... Dennett at his best is as good as it gets' Spectator Daniel C. Dennett is one of the most original and provocative thinkers in the world. A brilliant polemicist and philosopher, he is famous for challenging unexamined orthodoxies, and an outspoken supporter of the Brights movement.

'Required reading for anyone remotely curious about how they came to be remotely curious' Observer'Enthralling' Spectator What is human consciousness and how is it possible? These questions fascinate thinking people from poets and painters to physicists, psychologists, and philosophers. This 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 whodunnit, part bold scientific conjecture, this landmark work enlarges themes that have sustained Dennett's career at the forefront of philosophical thought. In his inimitable style, laced with wit and thought experiments, Dennett shows how culture enables reflection by installing a profusion of thinking tools, or memes, in our brains, and how language turbocharges this process. The result: a mind that can comprehend the questions it poses, has emerged from a process of cultural evolution. An agenda-setting book for a new generation of philosophers and thinkers, From Bacteria to Bach and Back is essential for anyone who hopes to understand human creativity in all its applications.

'A generous book written by a figure who has made a significant impact on philosophy ... Anyone interested in philosophy should read it' Nigel Warburton, Times Literary Supplement'One of today's most readable, intellectually nimble and scientifically literate philosophers' Nature'Who would have guessed that a philosopher's life could be so full of adventures?'Daniel C. Dennett, philosopher and cognitive scientist, has spent his career considering consciousness. I've Been Thinking traces the development of Dennett's own intellect and instructs us how we too can become good thinkers.Dennett's restless curiosity leads him from his childhood in Beirut to Harvard, and from Parisian jazz clubs to 'tillosophy' on his tractor in Maine. Along the way, he encounters and debates with a host of legendary thinkers, and reveals the breakthroughs and misjudgments that shaped his paradigm-shifting philosophies. Thinking, Dennett argues, is hard, and risky. In fact, all good philosophical thinking is inevitably accompanied by bafflement, frustration and self-doubt. It is only in getting it wrong that we, very occasionally, find a way to get it right.This memoir by one of the greatest philosophers of our time will speak to anyone who seeks a life of the mind with adventure and creativity.

Can there be freedom and free will in a deterministic world? Renowned philosopher Daniel Dennett emphatically answers "yes " Using an array of provocative formulations, Dennett sets out to show how we alone among the animals have evolved minds that give us free will and morality. Weaving a richly detailed narrative, Dennett explains in a series of strikingly originalarguments--drawing upon evolutionary biology, cognitive neuroscience, economics, and philosophy--that far from being an enemy of traditional explorations of freedom, morality, and meaning, the evolutionary perspective can be an indispensable ally. In Freedom Evolves, Dennett seeks to place ethics on the foundation it deserves: a realistic, naturalistic, potentially unified vision of our place in nature.
