311 | Annaka Harris on Whether Consciousness is Fundamental
Episode 311
Monday, 14 April, 2025
Questions about consciousness range from the precise and empirical -- what neurons fire when I have some particular experience -- to the deeply profound -- does consciousness emerge from matter, or does matter emerge from consciousness?

She talks with a variety of experts in her new audio series, Lights On: How Understanding Consciousness Helps Us Understand the Universe.Blog post with show notes and transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/04/14/311-annaka-harris-on-whether-consciousness-is-fundamental/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Annaka Harris received a BFA from New York University.
