We all have a great cinema in our heads: a lot is happening nonstop, there is color, sound and even smell and taste, we can rewind and remember and fast forward and plan something. The best thing about it: we experience the film. The only question is: what exactly does that mean? Is the I that experiences the film part of the film - or outside and something completely different? Is our consciousness ultimately just an effect of a great film machine that we call the brain? Physicalists actually believe that consciousness can also be explained purely scientifically. The Australian philosopher David Chalmers takes a different view. For him, the question of consciousness remains unanswered. Barbara Bleisch in conversation with one of the most creative philosophers of our time. Literature: ???? David J.

The "Sternstunde Philosophie" draws a broad arc from socio-political topicality to the fundamental questions of philosophy: Who is responsible for what, what does human freedom consist of, what determines the meaning of our life? The guests are personalities from science, culture, politics and business - voices that stimulate thought and reflect on and classify current events. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Social Media Netiquette from SRF: ► https://www.srf.ch/social-netiquette #SRFCulture #SRFSternstunde #Philosophy #DavidChalmers #Brain #Brain #Consciousness #Culture #SRF
