1:05:43Now PlayingI was recently on @AynRandCentreUK's YouTube channel to discuss physicalism (similar to materialism), which holds that the mind or consciousness is physical rather than non-physical. Physicalism is a dominant view among academic philosophers today, but I wrote a doctoral dissertation that challenges their arguments in support of it. In this video, which reprises some of the key parts of my dissertation, I present and critique some of the main arguments that philosophers have used to support physicalism. Discussion with a panel follows.
Participants: Dan Norton, Lee Pierson, Bob Stubblefield, Steve Richins.
"CCP" (which stands for "Causal Closure of the Physical") is the acronym that is partly covered by the box in which I appear (in the Powerpoint slides titled, "The 'No Evidence Argument' in support of CCP," starting at 20:44).
