What If Everything Is Conscious? w/ Dr Philip Goff

The Wonder and The Mystery of Being - A podcast by Jon Steingard

A discussion about the nature of consciousness. What is it, exactly, and what is its relationship with the physical world? Dr. Philip Goff is one of world's leading proponents of a view called panpsychism, which suggests that all matter may have an element of consciousness, and in a sense, everything has experience. Dr Philip Goff is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Durham University. His research focuses on how to integrate consciousness into our scientific world view. He has authored an academic book with Oxford University Press – Consciousness and Fundamental Reality – and a book aimed at a general audience – Galileo's Error: Foundations for a New Science of Consciousness. Goff has published 45 academic articles as well as writing extensively for newspapers and magazines, including Scientific American, The Guardian, and the Times Literary Supplement. Goff's interview by Pulitzer Prize winning author Gareth Cook was one of the most viewed of the most viewed articles in Scientific American of 2020.https://twitter.com/Philip_Goffhttps://www.philipgoffphilosophy.com/https://conscienceandconsciousness.com/
