CONSCIOUSNESS

Professor Ted Honderich

The internationally-known philosopher of mind, of determinism and freedom, and of right and wrong and terrorism, will defend his theory of consciousness,  starting with what it is for you to be conscious of the room you are in. What this comes to is not brain activity or something non-physical inside your head – as Devout Physicalists & Spiritualists say - but something outside your head. This theory of Radical Externalism has lately been the subject of a philosophical quarrel unprecendented in living memory, reported in the |British press & also the New York Times.
