Ep. 17 - Philip Goff: Panpsychism

Jordan Myers — Wed, 16 Dec 2020 06:00:00 -0800

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Phillip Goff about Panpsychism. We discuss what we mean by consciousness, why materialist reductionism doesn't satisfy as an explanation of its existence, and what Panpsychism can offer as a theory of consciousness.

Paperback versions of Philip Goff's book, Galileo's Error: Foundations for a New Science of Consciousness, are now available in UK and US.
