The New York Review of books has just published a book review by
Stephen Jay Gould critiquing Daniel Dennett's "Darwin's Dangerous
Idea." In it he says Dennett misrepresented his (Gould's) ideas
in the book and tried to attribute positions to Gould that he
never espoused. Then he brings up some excellent criticisms of
the memetics movement that should probably be addressed by anyone
who wants to make memetics a science or philosophy that scientists
will take seriously. You can read or download the article from
www.nybooks.com. Highly recommended.
