Negative Positive
Title: Obviously The Spell Is Too Powerful
Review: Most the people who reviewed this book and rated it a "1" or "2" missed some huge points Dennett clearly makes early in this book.These reviewers:1) Are religious.2) Have not (themselves) studied religions or philosophy of religion, and have NEVER questioned their own faith.3) Don't want science to investigate religion (or missed the point Dennett makes as to WHY we should).4) Have minds that were unaffected by the book (their religious beliefs).[The above is just my opinion, a generalization, but one I'm most certainly convinced of is true to at least 90% of those reviewers]And they were not persuaded to the least by his logic (assuming they read more than 5 pages before throwing it down in disgust).It's a shame.(4/5 because it lacks some explanation in several areas as well as being geared only towards the people mentioned above)
Is the review positive or negative?
