Philip Goff: podcast appearances and interviews

Philip Goff, born in 1978, is a British philosopher and professor at Durham University. His research focuses on the philosophy of mind and consciousness, with particular attention to integrating consciousness into the scientific worldview. Goff is known for his critique of materialism, which he considers incoherent, and his rejection of dualism due to its associated complexity, discontinuity, and mystery. Instead, he advocates for a third way, a form of Russellian monism that seeks to explain the nature of reality by positing that consciousness is a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of the physical world. According to Goff, the basic constituents of reality, such as electrons and quarks, may have simple forms of experience that contribute to the fabric of consciousness.
