Animal Consciousness and Prison Philosophy Outreach with Dr. Simon Brown
Manage episode 424861430 series 3581186
Are animals phenomenally conscious? Are certain "trackable" features of animals a determinant for consciousness? Consciousness is a fascinating concept that seems to have an infinite number of explanations. Our sixth episode features Dr. Simon Brown, who is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Foundations of Mind at Johns Hopkins University, where he teaches and researches philosophy and collaborates with the Perception and Mind Lab. In this episode, Saurish and Dr. Brown discuss philosophy of mind, animal consciousness, and its relationship to human consciousness, as well as explore philosophy outreach in the form of Rethink, an outreach program that promotes philosophical engagement in marginalized and underprivileged groups.
