Books by Daniel C. Dennett

Daniel C. Dennett is an American philosopher and cognitive scientist, and co-director of the Center for Cognitive Studies at Tufts University. His books include Consciousness Explained, Darwin's Dangerous Idea, and From Bacteria to Bach and Back. A longtime proponent of philosophical naturalism, Dennett argues that the tools of science and evolutionary biology are sufficient to explain mind, consciousness, and culture without invoking the supernatural. He was widely identified as one of the New Atheists in the mid-2000s, though his approach to religion is more analytical than polemical.
