    Journal Article

    Philosopher and science advocate Daniel Clement Dennett, who merged philosophical thinking with scientific evidence from many fields, died on 19 April at age 82. In the central question of the nature of the mind, Dennett took a neuroscience-anchored position, arguing that consciousness and all higher cognitive abilities could be understood as a direct consequence of the physiology of the brain. He expanded his ideas in best-selling books about religion and evolution and became one of the strongest voices publicly defending atheism and Darwinism.
