June 27, 2021 – The finale of the ‘What is Consciousness?’ event. We explored the many aspects of the topic through the eyes of scholars some of whom had opposing viewpoints but all of whom were both compelling and enlightening. We are pleased that so many of them agreed to take part in a final panel to explore and deepen some of the themes that emerged in the presentations.
We began with the panelists responding to prepared questions on such topics as the relationship of matter and consciousness, how quantum mechanics might shed light on the ‘block universe’ conceptualization, and how patterns of activation of the human brain during cognitive performancemight shed light on consciousness. This was followed by general discussion.
