Tim Crane

Tim Crane, a Professor of Philosophy, joins fellow philosophers Joanna Leidenhag and Philip Goff to delve into the intriguing concept of panpsychism, which suggests consciousness exists in all matter. They explore how this theory contrasts with materialist views, presenting a third perspective on consciousness. The discussion touches upon thought experiments, the relationship between consciousness and the material world, and the implications of panpsychism on both philosophical and theological contexts, aiming to bridge various beliefs about the essence of existence.

Philosopher Tim Crane discusses the concept of non-existence and its implications in thought and language, including the truth behind fictional creations, mistaken beliefs about non-existent objects, the existence of God, the nature of the mind, and the relationship between thought and its objects.
