Philosophy Babble - The Great Minds Series
In this instalment, we explore the insights of three brilliant minds. Dr. Iain McGilchrist, renowned psychiatrist and author, delves into the impact of hemispheric specialization on perception, culture, and society. Professor Mark Solms, a pioneering neuroscientist and psychoanalyst, uncovers the neural foundations of consciousness, emotion, and the unconscious mind. Professor Hyman Schipper, a distinguished philosopher and metaphysician, brings a unique perspective with his research in metaphysics, oxidative stress, brain aging, and neurodegenerative diseases. Join us as we journey through their profound contributions to understanding the nature of reality and existence.

Episode Highlights:
In this episode, we delve into a rich tapestry of discussions with our distinguished guests. We begin with an exploration of Hemispheric Theory, followed by a nuanced analysis of Attention vs. Affective, and a deep dive into the nature of Attention and Affective. The conversation then transitions to the Immaterial World vs. Material World and the Relationship between Consciousness and Matter. We examine the nature of the underlying reality, discuss Truth and Experience, and tackle Chalmers’ The Hard Problem of Consciousness. Our guests decrypt Consciousness, reflect on the interplay between Reflect vs. Feeling, and ponder a thought experiment on predictability and unconsciousness. A Buddhist perspective is offered in response, followed by distinctions between unconscious vs. conscious states. We touch upon the default mode network, question the reality of the past, and end with insights on intelligence and whether consciousness is static or transient. Additionally, we discuss Spinoza's philosophy and decode the distinctions between pantheism and panentheism, offering profound insights into these philosophical perspectives.
