Daniel Dennett/3-28-1942
1991: Daniel wrote a book called 'Consciousness Explained.' In his book he explains his take on how consciousness comes from the interaction of physical and cognitive ways of the brain. This book put him at odds with other philosophers, which I believe led to more people wanting to prove him wrong. Which led to more research being done.
