"If we want a science of consciousness, we need to find a way of putting consciousness back in the physical world." Philip Goff
Philosopher of consciousness at Durham University, Philip Goff's research focuses on integrating consciousness into our scientific worldview. Philip is a defender of panpsychism as the solution to the hard problem of consciousness.
Philip's 2019 book Galileo's Error sets out his defence of panpsychism rooted in an analysis of the work of Arthur Eddington and Bertrand Russell. We will hear more of Philip's perspective in our debate on the framework of beliefs.
