American author and neuroscientist who became one of the Four Horsemen of New Atheism and has since expanded into philosophy of mind, free will, and political commentary.
The End of Faith: a post-9/11 argument that religious moderation enables religious extremism. Letter to a Christian Nation: a shorter polemic. Free Will: a systematic argument for hard incompatibilism — free will is an illusion that neuroscience demonstrates. Waking Up: a secular approach to spirituality through meditation.
