title: Memes and the Exploitation of Imagination creator: Dennett, Daniel C subject: Logic subject: Philosophy of Science description: The general issue to be addressed in a Mandel Lecture is how (or whether) art promotes human evolution or development. I shall understand the term "art" in its broadest connotations--perhaps broader than the American Society for Aesthetics would normally recognize: I shall understand art to include all artifice, all human invention. What I shall say will a fortiori include art in the narrower sense, but I don't intend to draw particular attention to the way my thesis applies to it. date: 1990 type: Journal (Paginated) type: PeerReviewed format: text/html identifier: http://cogprints.org/258/1/memeimag.htm identifier: Dennett, Daniel C (1990) Memes and the Exploitation of Imagination.
