The confidence to be human in an age of AI. A conversation about the complexity of things with Mazviita Chirimuuta

Update: 2025-01-29

Description

What do we really learn from neuroscience? How can scientific assumptions shape the world we perceive? Why might notions such as soul and mind matter all the more in times of mechanistic, computational thinking?

Mark Vernon talks with philosopher and neuroscientist Mazviita Chirimuuta.

Mazviita is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh and author of the prize-winning book, The Brain Abstracted. She is also an advisor to the Realisation Festival
