Mind over matter
Article Abstract:
Philosopher Daniel Dennett supports the theory of evolution and considers free will may also be part of the evolution process. Dennett studied neuroscience when he became interested in researching the philosophy of the mind. He is always quick to praise those who have supported him in his work. He dislikes academics who use their position to mock those who hold opposing views. Dennett suggests religion plays a role in comforting people and filling their lives although he acknowledges it is based on untruths. He is a member of the philosophy department at Tufts University, Boston, US.
