#1739 - Philip Goff

Philip Goff, a philosopher and consciousness researcher at Durham University, dives deep into the philosophy of panpsychism, suggesting consciousness might be a fundamental quality of all matter. He discusses plant intelligence, highlighting their ability to respond and learn, while exploring the consciousness of complex societies like leafcutter ants. Goff debates panpsychism versus reductionism, challenges traditional views on consciousness and matter, and raises profound questions about our understanding of subjective experiences and the nature of innovation.
