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.

Every kitchen needs one of these!!!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Whoever designed this is absolutely brilliant!! I have had so many sponge holders that either sit on the edge of the sink and make a big huge mess or they’re attached to the inside of the sink with suction cups and they fall off and they get in the way. This one is absolutely perfect. It has a little tray built-in on a slant so when you set your sponge or whatever in there, the water runs down back into the sink. No more water puddling on the sink running onto the counter. This drains it right back in the sink automatically I am thrilled with this sponge holder !! It’s a nice color and very well-made. It’s metal but the drain tray is a hard plastic , which is fantastic because then it won’t rust. I am all about making things in life easier and this sponge holder not only looks great , it will eliminate cleaning up messes off the side of the sink. I posted a picture with water running into the sponge holder and it shows how the water runs down into the sink… It holds various sizes of sponges. It’s got a little area for a brush .I have a couple of my smiley sponges ( no names mentioned ) that fit in there perfectly.. every kitchen should have one of these without a doubt!!!

Adequate sponge organizer
Color: Black, Color: Black
This is a black matte metal sponge organizer. It does have a tilted drip tray so the water drips down into your sink. The metal is cheap but effective. For the price, the added organization you get from this item is worth it! Could also be used in a bathroom. There is no mounting hardware included, not even adhesives. The metal is already warped out of the box. This is not a high quality item, but the price is fair!

Slim, Stylish, and Perfect for Keeping Counters Organized
Size: B 1PCS, Color: Black
I love the slim, compact size of this organizer. It takes up much less counter space while still offering the perfect amount of compartmentalization for keeping everything neat and easy to find. The material is a big plus since it won’t rust, and it looks really nice on my countertop. It definitely helps my counter look less cluttered and more organized. Overall, a great functional and attractive storage solution.
