Reason/Cause/Knowledge/Evolution/Dennett: The early doubling macromolecules did have causes, but they had no idea about their reasons.
II 77
Cause/existence/ontology/Dennett: There were causes and reasons for millions of years, but no one existed to formulate them, represent the reasons or even to appreciate them in the strict sense.
Brandom I 379
Reason/Davidson/Brandom: reasons are causes - (elsewhere): Davidson always defines causality as an explanation - we only need causality.
Den I 627
Reason/Darwin/causality/Dennett: Question: Can there be reasons which are recognized without a conscious mind recognizing them?.
I 628
Yes! Selection is the "blind watchmaker" (Dawkins), who nevertheless finds forced moves. - Connection: with truths/Goedel which you can see but cannot prove.
Dennett: intermediate solutions are good! E.g. the halting problem: a program that would not perfect but still good.
