INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Is human consciousness simply the product of brain activity — or does reducing human experience to biology leave something essential out? In this episode, philosopher, physician, and former clinical neuroscientist Raymond Tallis joins the show to challenge reductionist views of the mind, unpack the limits of neuroscience, and explore what makes human beings distinct. Best known for his critiques of “neuromania” and scientism, Tallis discusses consciousness, free will, language, AI, and why he believes human life cannot be fully explained by neurons alone.
