Can Science Explain Consciousness?

from Philosophy Talk · host Philosophy Talk

Humans are conscious, billiard balls are not, and computers aren’t either. But all three are just collections of molecules, aren’t they? What is consciousness, and does it go beyond what science can explain? John and Ken probe the limits of scientific accounts of consciousness with Joseph Levine UMass Amherst, author of Purple Haze: The Puzzle of Consciousness.
