"Neuroscientist's Shift on Physical Consciousness View"

Neuroscientist Christof Koch, a proponent of physicalism, now suggests that consciousness cannot be explained solely through physical processes and requires an additional postulation of "experience." He argues for a new understanding of consciousness and the mind, emphasizing the need for better metaphysics and philosophy. Koch also delves into the challenges of defining consciousness, suggesting that it may be beyond linguistic explanation and closer to us than words can convey. This shift in perspective prompts a reevaluation of the nature of consciousness and reality itself.
