To the question of the nature of consciousness Daniel Dennett, enfant terrible of modern Western philosophy, approaches from the standpoint of Darwinian evolutionism. He views consciousness as the result of an evolutionary process, which is of a purely biological nature, and tries to distinguish in biological evolution the algorithms that led to the emergence of the phenomenon of consciousness and society. From these positions he also considers such seemingly "human" phenomena as mathematical thinking and morality, debunking the myths surrounding them.
