Episode Notes and Links

Is it a law of nature that if your neurons are gradually replaced with silicon chips, your qualia won’t thereby gradually fade? Can the armchair methodology of analytic metaphysics deliver knowledge of natural laws? Or can the boundaries of the nomologically possible be discerned only from within the natural sciences? And who cares? Richard Brown and Pete Mandik, that’s who!
