Daniel Clement Dennett III (born March 28, 1942) is an American philosopher, writer, and cognitive scientist whose research centers on the philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and philosophy of biology, particularly as those fields relate to evolutionary biology and cognitive science.

Gilbert Ryle (19 de agosto de 1900– 6 de outubro de 1976) foi um filósofo britânico pertencente a uma geração influenciada pelas teorias de Wittgenstein sobre a linguagem.Ryle é conhecido principalmente pela sua crítica ao dualismo cartesiano, para o qual ele cunhou a expressão "the dogma of the ghost in the machine" (o dogma do fantasma na máquina).

William H. Calvin, Ph.D. (born April 30, 1939) is an American theoretical neurophysiologist and professor at the University of Washington in Seattle. He is a well-known popularizer of neuroscience and evolutionary biology, including the hybrid of these two fields, neural Darwinism. He relates abrupt climate change to human evolution and more recently has been working on global climate change issues.

Richard Langton Gregory CBE, FRS, FRSE (24 July 1923 – 17 May 2010) was a British psychologist and Professor of Neuropsychology at the University of Bristol.
 

Gregory's main contribution to the discipline was in the development of cognitive psychology, in particular that of "Perception as hypotheses", an approach which had its origin in the work of Hermann von Helmholtz (1821–1894). 

​

Gregory progressed this idea with a key analogy. The process whereby the brain puts together a coherent view of the outside world is analogous to the way in which the sciences build up their picture of the world, by a kind of hypothetico-deductive process.
