Evan Thompson, professor of philosophy, University of British Columbia, delivers the keynote address for the Mind & Emptiness conference held at Dartmouth April 28 & 29, 2017. LECTURE BEGINS AT 6min.51sec.
Thompson, a philosopher and cognitive scientist, discusses consciousness and embodied experience from the multiple perspectives of phenomenology, Buddhist philosophy, and cognitive science. He proposes that understanding consciousness as a natural phenomenon may require radically revising our scientific concept of nature, and discusses how “neurophenomenology,” which combines neuroscience and phenomenological investigations, can contribute to this effort.
