The Atheism Tapes: Interview with Philosopher Daniel Dennett

Jonathan Miller interviews American Philosopher Daniel Dennett as part of the BBC's 'The Atheism Tapes'.

Dennett's review of Dawkin's 'The God Delusion' is worth reading. In his review he states: "We agree about most matters, and have learned a lot from each other, but on one central issue we are not (yet) of one mind: Dawkins is quite sure that the world would be a better place if religion were hastened to extinction and I am still agnostic about that. I don’t know what could be put in religion’s place–or what would arise unbidden–so I am still eager to explore the prospect of reforming religion, a task that cries out for a better understanding of the phenomena, and hence a lot more research than has yet been attempted."
