Philip Goff is Professor of Philosophy, Durham University. Author of Galileo's Error: Foundations for a New Science of Consciousness and Consciousness and Fundamental Reality
Philosopher of consciousness at Durham University, Philip Goff's research focuses on integrating consciousness into our scientific worldview. Philip is a defender of panpsychism as the solution to the hard problem of consciousness.
Philip's 2019 book Galileo's Error: Foundations for a New Science of Consciousness and Consciousness and Fundamental Reality sets out his defence of panpsychism rooted in an analysis of the work of Arthur Eddington and Bertrand Russell. We will hear more of Philip's perspective in our debate on the framework of beliefs.
