40 - L.A. Paul: Cognitive Science, Metaphysics, & Transformative Experience

L.A. Paul is the Millstone Family Professor of Philosophy and Professor of Cognitive Science at Yale University. After doing her graduate work on causation and time at Princeton under the guidance of David Lewis, Laurie wrote her groundbreaking book Transformative Experience, and since then has been exploring the intersection of cognitive science and metaphysics (in addition to a myriad of other pursuits). Laurie and Robinson talk about how she went from her undergraduate studies in chemistry and biology to philosophy, the origins of Transformative Experience, and what cognitive science can contribute to the philosophy of time and causation.   Twitter: @robinsonerhardt  Instagram: @robinsonerhardt   Twitch (Robinson Eats): @robinsonerhardt   YouTube (Robinson Eats): youtube.com/@robinsoneats   TikTok: @robinsonerhardt
