Abstract This paper analyzes Dennett’s term ‘strange inversion of reasoning.’ First, it argues this term covers two related concepts, which share a family resemblance. Second, it shows the concepts share a common source, the Appendix of Spinoza’s Ethics, Book 1.
The paper reveals a kind of genealogy of modernity that Dennett has inscribed in From Bacteria to Bach and Back.
