Mind-Body Solution with Dr Tevin Naidu

Bernardo Kastrup is the executive director of Essentia Foundation. His work has been leading the modern renaissance of metaphysical idealism, the notion that reality is essentially mental. He has a Ph.D. in Philosophy (ontology, philosophy of mind) and another Ph.D. in Computer Engineering (reconfigurable computing, artificial intelligence). As a scientist, Bernardo has worked for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Philips Research Laboratories (where the 'Casimir Effect' of Quantum Field Theory was discovered).

(18:11) - Chapter II - We discuss why mainstream physicalism fails on all key post-enlightenment values. (39:57) - Chapter III - We investigate the insoluble problems of constitutive panpsychism, a fashionable metaphysics that postulates consciousness to be a fundamental property of matter. (1:26:22) - Chapter IV - We go in depth into Analytic Idealism itself, discussing how it makes sense of reality without requiring anything other than nature’s sole given: experience. (1:38:00) - Chapter V - We review empirical evidence from the fields of foundations of physics and neuroscience of consciousness, which seems to suggest the validity of analytic idealism (1:57:55) - Chapter VI - We discuss the important distinction between phenomenal consciousness and meta-consciousness, arguing that the so-called ‘unconscious’ reflects merely a lack of the latter, not the former. (2:08:20) - Chapter VII - We respond to the main objections raised against Analytic Idealism. This is the closing part of the course, so Bernardo leaves you with some personal reflections about Idealism and life.
