Kitrinos Posted Tuesday at 01:56 PM Posted Tuesday at 01:56 PM Read Bernardo Kastrup's work if you're interested in this kind of topic. IMO his writings have the most clarity among contemporary philosophers; several technical papers but also books that are more accessible to the general public. 1 Quote
Kitrinos Posted Tuesday at 01:58 PM Posted Tuesday at 01:58 PM Perhaps go for the books Brief Peeks Beyond and Science Ideated. 1 Quote
Multi-Media Posted Friday at 06:29 AM Author Posted Friday at 06:29 AM DANKE, finally some posts And I will follow ur tips... Here whats said at redit about guy: "Bernardo Kastrup argues that the world is fundamentally mental. A person’s mind is a dissociated part of one cosmic mind. “Matter” is what regularities in the cosmic mind look like. This dissolves the problem of consciousness and explains odd findings in neuroscience." HOWEVER here the post w/ most likes;: FUNNY_NAME_ALL_CAPS • vor 1 Jahr Lost all respect for Kastrup when he misinterpreted fMRI/EEG data from a psychedelics paper and refused to acknowledge his mistake when the scientists behind the paper corrected him. I even like Idealism, just wish this guy wasn't the face of it. Quote
Kitrinos Posted Friday at 02:35 PM Posted Friday at 02:35 PM One might disagree with this interpretation, but I don't think anyone can claim to have "corrected him"; the findings are just neuroimaging data. How you interpret them in a philosophical context is open to debate. The problem is that many neuroscientists adhere unquestioningly to materialist philosophy, and can become polemic with those who challenge the status quo. Regardless of whether his analytic idealism is the best theory on consciousness or not, Kastrup is a brilliant mind that is worth our attention. He has also debated many scholars and scientists. There is plenty of material online. Quote
