He was President of the British Society for Philosophy of Science for 1993-5, President of the Mind Association for 2009-10, and President of the Aristotelian Society for 2013-14. He’s also the author of 9 books, including Philosophical Naturalism, Thinking About Consciousness, and Knowing the Score.In this episode, we talk about naturalism, and consciousness and mental phenomena. We start by discussing what naturalism is; if there are problems that science can’t deal with; and how philosophy can contribute to science and the scientific method. Then, we move on to talking about consciousness. We first tackle the issues with mind-brain dualism, and then we discuss consciousness and action, and the Libet experiments in the 1980’s; we also deal with the hard problem of consciousness, and the issues with emergentism. Finally, we debate the possibility of mental phenomena being nothing more than illusions, and what is real in how we experience the world, with a focus on our perceptual systems.Time Links:--Follow Dr. Papineau’s work:Faculty page: https://tinyurl.com/yb5ledrxPersonal website: http://www.davidpapineau.co.uk/Books: https://tinyurl.com/yalc4gdfTwitter handle: @davidpapineau--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, JUNOS, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, MIGUEL ESTRADA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JIM FRANK, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORD, AND HANS FREDRIK SUNDE!I also leave you with the link to a recent montage video I did with the interviews I have released until the end of June 2018:https://youtu.be/efdb18WdZUoAnd check out my playlists on:PSYCHOLOGY: https://tinyurl.com/ybalf8kmPHILOSOPHY: https://tinyurl.com/yb6a7d3pANTHROPOLOGY: https://tinyurl.com/y8b42r7g
