Intuition Pumps and Other Tools for ThinkingOver a storied career, Daniel C. Dennett has engaged questions about science and the workings of the mind. His answers have combined rigorous argument with strong empirical grounding. And a lot of fun. Intuition Pumps and Other Tools for Thinking offers seventy seven of Dennett's most successful "imagination extenders and focus holders" meant to guide you through some of life's most treacherous subject matter: evolution, meaning, mind, and free will.

Over a storied career, Daniel C. Dennett has engaged questions about science and the workings of the mind. His answers have combined rigorous argument with strong empirical grounding. And a lot of fun.

Intuition Pumps and Other Tools for Thinking offers seventy-seven of Dennett's most successful "imagination-extenders and focus-holders" meant to guide you through some of life's most treacherous subject matter: evolution, meaning, mind, and free will. With patience and wit, Dennett deftly deploys his thinking tools to gain traction on these thorny issues while offering readers insight into how and why each tool was built.

Alongside well-known favorites like Occam's Razor and reductio ad absurdum lie thrilling descriptions of Dennett's own creations: Trapped in the Robot Control Room, Beware of the Prime Mammal, and The Wandering Two-Bitser. Ranging across disciplines as diverse as psychology, biology, computer science, and physics, Dennett's tools embrace in equal measure light-heartedness and accessibility as they welcome uninitiated and seasoned readers alike. As always, his goal remains to teach you how to "think reliably and even gracefully about really hard questions."

A sweeping work of intellectual seriousness that's also studded with impish delights, Intuition Pumps offers intrepid thinkers--in all walks of life--delicious opportunities to explore their pet ideas with new powers.

Best Foot Cream I’ve Ever Used!
Item Package Quantity: 1
This is honestly the best foot cream I’ve ever used! My feet are incredibly smooth, and my heels look like they’ve never been cracked. I’ve struggled with dry heels before, and this made such a noticeable difference. Highly recommend!

Works great!! I have had dry, cracked heals for years because I don't wear shoes around the house. Even my manicurist says my heals look great!

Miracle
Item Package Quantity: 1
I wish I had before and after photos, my feet are in much better shape after using this. I still need to work on them more but I ran out pretty quickly but my feet were dry af. I used to “shave” my feet once a month this is the power of foot filing in a stick. I will never foot file again. I need to find a way to make it last longer but I think I will not need as much now that my feet are in better shape. Iykyk, get this. It’s greasy as all hell but it’s easy to apply and you can do it over a towel and then put socks on immediately before bed. I wish it was a bigger stick but it is not too pricy so it’s worth it.
