The Behavioral and Brain Sciences (hope I got that journal name right)
about two issues back includes a paper by Dennett that overlaps 
substantially with a chapter of his book, followed by ~25 responses 
and critiques by researchers in a variety of fields, followed by a 
long rebuttal.  I understand there will an entire issue of another
journal (Inquiry?  Someone correct me...) devoted to a similar
collection of responses to CE.
	The reaction has been considerable.  Dennett must be spending
fulltime responding to his critics.
