Federico Faggin | La fisica quantistica può svelare il mistero della coscienza?

Can quantum physics really prove free will? Federico Faggin argues that consciousness is a fundamental reality of the universe. But what would Baruch Spinoza and Rudolf Steiner say? Federico Faggin, inventor of the first microprocessor, is today one of the most authoritative proponents of the idea that consciousness is not a product of the brain, but a fundamental property of reality. In his book Irreducible, he proposes a theory that intertwines philosophy of mind, quantum mechanics, and free will. But does this fascinating perspective really stand up to comparison with two giants of philosophy like Baruch Spinoza and Rudolf Steiner? In this Philosophical Excursion, we will critically analyze Faggin's proposal, distinguishing what belongs to physics, what belongs to philosophy, and what remains an open hypothesis. ✨ Key Quote "The real question is not whether the universe lets us be free, but whether we are willing to become so." 🎧 Recommended Playlist PHILOSOPHY AND QUANTUM PHYSICS 👉    • FILOSOFIA E FISICA QUANTISTICA   Support the project 💳 Free donation to support the channel: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/confi... 📝 "Active student" subscription (previews and reserved materials):    / @scorribandefilosofiche   🔔 Subscribe to the channel to never miss the next Philosophical Excursions:    / channel   📚 Books – Philosophical Excursions Practical Philosophy Paths between Ancient and Modern 👉 https://francescodipalo.wordpress.com... 📘 Philosophy in the Garden (Epicureanism), paper/ebook, YCP 2025 https://francescodipalo.wordpress.com... 📘 Free Within (Epictetus), paper/ebook, YCP 2024 https://francescodipalo.wordpress.com... 📘 The Crutch (Existential Novel), ebook, YCP 2023 https://francescodipalo.wordpress.com... 📘 Philosophy under the Portico (Stoicism), paper/ebook, YCP 2023 https://francescodipalo.wordpress.com... 🧭 Philosophical Counseling Individual counseling based on dialogue, aimed at those who wish to address existential or decision-making questions through the tools of the philosophical tradition.
