75 min • 14 april 2023

In this ‘Living in Not-Knowing’ episode, Bernardo Kastrup describes his early career working as a scientist at CERN. He explains how his interest in consciousness led him to philosophy and to develop his theory of analytic idealism. 


Jenny and Bernardo discuss


  •  the nature of the world and how the illusion of being separate arises as a result of a natural process of dissociation. 
  • Do animals and plants have an inner life? 
  • What can we say about the nature of the inanimate world? 
  • Could AI one day have a conscious inner life? 
  • How can the experience of ‘consciousness without objects’ be explained? 
  • Do we need to abandon all beliefs or just some, unhelpful beliefs? 
  • What can science tell us about the world? 
  • What can we learn from history?
