What is consciousness? Where does it come from? What happens to consciousness when we die? And what is the nature of reality?

It’s time to ask the big questions and tackle the hard problems that have perplexed humanity since the dawn of inquiry.

Philip is an associate professor of philosophy at Durham University who specializes in the nature of consciousness.
