Shaun Stanley

Shaun Stanley, a controversial philosopher from Bristol University, challenges traditional views on consciousness and the existence of minds. He explores whether humans are just sophisticated robots, diving into thought experiments about the fictional Antipodeans. The conversation covers the link between behavior and internal states, using locked-in syndrome as a case study. Stanley also delves into the nuances of love, the limitations of folk psychology, and how emotions might be better expressed through poetry than science.
