Debates & Talks
OPENING INTERVIEW: Organisms are interfaces between physical and non-physical worlds, with Michael Levin
Join us for this exclusive live interview with Professor Levin, where we'll discuss his extraordinary claims and discover why he thinks materialism is holding biology back.
HEADLINE DEBATE: Science Beyond the Physical
Join Lisa Feldman Barrett, Adam Frank & Michael Levin in our headline debate to ask if materialism is holding science back. Does science need to assume a materialist account of the world or might this have fundamental limitations?
SOLO TALK: Science Needs A New Metaphysics
It’s time for scientists, long wedded to physicalism, to try out new metaphysical accounts of reality’s nature, argues pioneering cognitive scientist Christof Koch in this talk for IAI Live. Join Koch as he argues that embracing these alternative views can help rather than hinder the use of the scientific method.
