His main research focus is trying to explain how the brain produces consciousness. He thinks we need to radically rethink our understanding of matter in order to explain consciousness, in something like the way Einstein radically rethought the nature of space and time. Dr. Goff also has a sideline in political philosophy, focusing on issues pertaining to taxation, globalization and social justice. He’s also the author of the book Consciousness and Fundamental Reality.In this episode, we talk about consciousness, materialism and the nature of reality. We start off by discussing the philosophy of materialism and its limitations when it comes to account for phenomena like consciousness. We also talk about illusionism as a theory of consciousness, and the difficulties in trying to understand consciousness from an objectivist perspective, and the inherent limitations that our theory of mind has. Then, Dr. Goff explains his approach to consciousness, and what he thinks is the best way to know its nature, based on Russellian monism and panpsychism. Time Links:--Follow Dr. Crawford’s work:Faculty page: https://tinyurl.com/y54hnlcfPersonal Website: https://tinyurl.com/yyfc6lkmConscious and Consciousness Blog: https://tinyurl.com/y5hujegsConsciousness and Fundamental Reality Book: https://tinyurl.com/y48f5y5rTwitter handle: @Philip_GoffSome relevant links:Russellian monism: https://tinyurl.com/y6qsb989 / https://tinyur
