Episode 13: Neurophilosophy and Consciousness (with Brit Brogaard)

Philosopher and Neuroscientist Berit (Brit) Brogaard joins Richard Brown and Pete Mandik on the SpaceTimeMind podcast to discuss what makes some states of the mind or brain conscious and others unconscious. Is this sort of question answerable from a psychological or philosophical perspective that makes no essential reference to neuroscience? Or, instead, are neuroscientific data unavoidable in this domain? And: can Brit go a full ten minutes without using the word “brain?"
