yeah I have read Dennett (though not in anger) and seen him speak live at the RSA and other places a few times. he makes a lot of good points but I can't say I always agree 100%. (ooh, get me!)
like you say, its a no-brainer that science and philosophy are indivisible, but I have a feeling that Conway-Morris is just having a gripe with big words so that he can justify slagging off Dawkins for being shallow, short-sighted and unduly obsessed with mechanistic minutiae
not that i disagree with him ;)
anyway it can't hurt to read up on all this stuff right? *remembers having a minor breakdown whilst trying to read Wittgenstein's Blue and Brown Books*
