Daniel Dennett: The Evolution of "Why?" - About Why We Wonder - Part 1

This is an audio recording of Daniel Dennett's open lecture at The University of Bergen, Norway. Dennet was invited as a guest lecturer in respect to the celebration of the150th anniversary of Charles Darwin's: Origin of The Species. The lecture starts with a brief introduction by science journalist Bjørn Vassnes. Unfortunately you will not have access to Dennett's power point presentation. Still, I hope that you will enjoy the lecture.

I apologize for the bad audio quality. I just recorded this with with my mp3player. The volume was so low that you could not hear Dennet. I had to increase the volume of the recording a few times in a recording program to make this audible. Unfortunately this made the clapping lethal.... :P

WARNING: If you have the volume turned all the way up so that you can hear Dr. Dennett, TURN IT DOWN at 5:15, or else the cheering and clapping of the audience will deafen you and annoy your neighbors!

Thanks for posting this!
