Michael Pollan: What is Consciousness? | Radboud Reflects Lecture with Michael Pollan, Marc Slors en Jolien Francken
What is consciousness? How do our feelings, thoughts, and experiences arise? Consciousness is where our sense of ‘self’ resides, yet it remains one of the greatest mysteries. Renowned journalist and bestselling author Michael Pollan asks how we can study the elusive phenomenon of consciousness in a scientific way. He turns to a wide range of disciplines: neuroscience, philosophy, and spirituality. Watch and listen to journalist Michael Pollan, who joins cognitive philosopher Marc Slors and neuroscientist Jolien Francken in a search for consciousness: what is it, who has it, and why.
