I was recently on @AynRandCentreUK 's YouTube channel to discuss physicalism (similar to materialism), which holds that the mind or consciousness is physical rather than non-physical. Physicalism is a dominant view among academic philosophers today, but I wrote a doctoral dissertation that challenges their arguments in support of it. In this video, which reprises some of the key parts of my dissertation, I present and critique some of the main arguments that philosophers have used to support physicalism. Discussion with a panel follows.

Participants: Dan Norton, Lee Pierson, Bob Stubblefield, Steve Richins.

0:00 Intro, conference advertisement

5:19 Presentation: A critique of the scientific case for physicalism

29:46 Panel discussion begins. Will this presentation convince a physicalist?

33:39 A former physicalist speaks; free will

39:19 Free will, knowledge, and the contradiction of determinism

43:21 Free will vs. physicalism

45:30 Is there anything non-physical other than consciousness? (superchat)

47:47 What scientific evidence is there that consciousness isn’t physical? (superchat)

48:40 Physicalism and extrospection

50:25 Defining “physical,” Hempel’s dilemma

54:28 Introspection/extrospection and physicalists, modes of awareness

59:38 Aren’t all relationships non-physical? (superchat)

1:01:35 Defining “physical” (again)

1:03:55 Outro, conference advertisement (again)

"CCP" (which stands for "Causal Closure of the Physical") is the acronym that is partly covered by the box in which I appear (in the Powerpoint slides titled, "The 'No Evidence Argument' in support of CCP," starting at 20:44).
