Theology Unleashed | The Hard Problem of Consciousness | David Papineau & Akhandadhi Das @TheologyUnleashed | Uploaded April 2021 | Updated October 2024, 58 minutes ago.
In this discussion we have a western philosopher and a Vedanta philosopher streaming in for a discussion on the hard problem of consciousness. The Hard problem of consciousness has been a hot topic in philosophy for centuries. In recent decades it has gained attention once again with David Chalmers coining the term and reminding philosophers of the problem. David Papineau comes from a more naturalist perspective, although he finds the term problematic, and Akhandadi is a practicing Vaishnava who comes from a Vedanta Perspective. The schools of Vedanta, Sankhya & Yoga discuss a model of consciousness and psychology which is of relevance to modern philosophy & neuroscience.
"David Papineau is a British academic philosopher, born in Como, Italy. He works as Professor of Philosophy of Science at King's College London and the City University of New York Graduate Center having previously taught for several years at Cambridge University where he was a fellow of Robinson College." He has written widely on epistemology, metaphysics and the philosophy of science and mind. His books include "For Science in the Social Sciences" (1979), "Theory and Meaning" (1990), "Reality and Representation" (1987), "Philosophical Naturalism" (1992), "Thinking about Consciousness" (2002), "Philosophical Devices" (2012), and "Knowing the Score" (2017).
Akhandadi Das is a Vaishnava theologian, philosopher of mind, BBC Thought of the Day regular, and very interested in the interaction of consciousness at all levels of reality. He has produced a YouTube series called "Atma Paradigm", and plans to produce writing on the subject.
