Spread Mind: Expanding Our View Of Consciousness / Riccardo Manzotti
Riccardo Manzotti is the author of The Spread Mind: Why Consciousness and the World Are One. Riccardo teaches Psychology of Perception at IULM University, Milan (Italy), and has specialized in AI, artificial vision, perception, and the philosophy and science of consciousness.
The discussion you will hear in this episode deals with a few different subjects brought up in Riccardo's work, namely what the Spread Mind hypothesis is, and what its underlying premise means regarding our understanding of what the "mind" really is, and how scientific exploration into the brain and neurological functioning will not lead to any answers of where our conscious experience comes from. Riccardo's new book The Spread Mind delves deeply into this fascinating subject and radically shifts our understanding of consciousness and points to another much needed and necessary way to frame our understanding of this subject.
