I just stumbled upon the following interesting interview by Robert Wright with Daniel Dennett--where Dennett discusses everything from Brights, evolution, and intelligent design, to his Russellian tea-pot agnosticism. Wright's interview with E.O. Wilson--which contains discussions of several of the same issues as the Dennett interview--can be found here. A number of Wright's interviews concerning the direction of evolutionary theory--with people ranging from John Maynard Smith and Steven Pinker to Arthur Peacocke--can be found over at Slate (see here).
UPDATE: Thanks to David Killoren--from E.G.--for pointing out that Wright has misrepresented what Dennett says in the interview concerning the "higher purpose of life" here. Dennett's response can be found here. Not to be outdone, Wright strikes back here.
