I'm a philosophy professor known for defending panpsychism, the theory that consciousness is a fundamental property of the physical universe. I interview philosophers, scientists, and spiritual thinkers about consciousness and the ultimate nature of reality. "One of the most persuasive panpsychists" - Stephen Fry. "It's nothing less than thrilling to follow Goff's argument" - Philip Pullman

    3 | The Best Argument Against Physicalism | Michelle Liu

    Can we account for consciousness in the terms of physical science? You may have heard about zombies and black and white Mary, but I think it all hangs and falls on something called the "Revelation Argument." In this episode, I discuss the revelation argument with Michelle Liu, who's one of the most interesting philosophers writing on this topic. Let me know what you think! If you’re interested in digging a little deeper, Michelle sent me over some of her writing in this are, which I've listed on my ⁠Substack⁠ For more on Michelle Liu: ⁠Her Website⁠ My book “Why? The Purpose of the Universe” is now out in paperback, available ⁠here⁠. Please subscribe and support my public work financially on ⁠Patreon⁠ if you're able.

    2 | Pioneering Neuroscientist has Mystical Experience | Christof Koch & Philip Goff

    Christof Koch is a hugely influential figure in the science of consciousness. I was somewhat taken aback at a recent conference when Christof spoke of the recent mystical experience that has changed his life. I couldn’t resist having a chat with Christof about his experience and how it’s impacted him. It was a great conversation, and I’d love to hear people’s thoughts on it. For more on Christof and his fantastic books, including 'Then I Am Myself the World' in which he talk about his mystical experience, check out his website: https://christofkoch.com/ If you have any questions about the discussion, subscribe to my Substack and I'll try to answer them in this month's 'Ask Me Anything' video: https://substack.com/@philipgoff Pre-order my book "Why?

    1 | Arguing Ethical Emotivism with Alex O'Connor

    Alex O'Connor and I have the same view on consciousness (we think it's fundamental) but we radically disagree on whether morality is objective. Here I try to convince Alex that either he joins me in thinking morality is objective, or he gives up his view that consciousness is fundamental. He can't have it both ways!! AM I RIGHT?? Visual version of my chat with Alex available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtm148PDafA&t=13s If you have any questions about the discussion, subscribe to my Substack and I'll try to answer them in this month's 'Ask Me Anything' video: https://substack.com/@philipgoff Pre-order my book "Why?
