Description

Episode 6 of the Permanent Evolution Podcast, the consciousness episode. Consciousness has been a constant theme of the podcast, but in this episode Dr Coludar and Dr Jackson indulge in a debate (that almost becomes heated) loaded with jargon. Topics discussed in part 1 include the "hard problem" of consciousness and whether it is a scientific question, the metaphysics of mind, reductionism, and explanations versus descriptions. In part two, panpsychism, unanswerable questions, the "ethics of audience" and whether or not it's worth trying to understand others, are all on the table.
