The Limits of Brain Science: Why Correlation Isn’t Explanation

from The Great Updraft · host Ross Edwards

This episode examines the relationship between the brain and experience, and challenges the common view that the brain explains our experience.We explore the basic fact that the brain is physical (tissue, chemistry, electrical activity) and experience is subjective (thoughts, emotions, sensations).These are two distinct types of phenomena that reliably correlate but cannot be couched in one another.My philosophy episodes: https://player.captivate.fm/collection/41de4d4f-0232-4c5d-bb84-436add43f6f9Explore my 200-episode podcast library: https://deep-psychology.com/#pod-catsNewsletter & books: https://deep-psychology.com/my-links
