Consciousness as a Problem in Philosophy and Neurobiology

Tuesday, September 09, 2014

7:30–9 p.m.

Presidents Hall, Franklin Hall

Lecturer

2014—John Searle

Willis S. and Marion Slusser Professor of Philosophy, University of California, Berkeley

A main intellectual scandal today is that we do not have, in philosophy or neurobiology, a generally accepted account of consciousness.  In this lecture, John Searle will offer the philosophical core of such an account, and explain the difficulties in getting a neurobiological account.  Along the way, he will expose half a dozen really outrageous mistakes about consciousness.
