Description

Daniel C. Dennett (b. 1942) from Tufts University is one of the key philosophers today and a great reformer in the field of knowledge. For nearly half a century he has been searching for the answer to the following questions: What is consciousness? What is free will? Is faith a natural phenomenon? The film is a recording of a one-to-one meeting with the philosopher at his home in northern New England. About the Series: Pioneers is one and only film project devoted to the most unorthodox contemporary thinkers who have had the courage to challenge current paradigms. The emotions of discovering and stress-testing new theories; the passion which prompts one to go against the expectations of others, against the "publish or die" model; the joys and sorrows of exploring frontiers of the known and the unknown – this is what Pioneers is about.
