I'm Enric, your philosophy teacher on YouTube, and this is Philosophy Addicts. We continue our series on philosophy of mind, delving deeper into the mind-brain problem, or the problem of consciousness. In the previous video, we saw the difficulties (or impossibility) of providing a reductive explanation of consciousness in purely physical terms. According to the argument developed by the atheist philosopher Thomas Nagel in his article "What Is It Like to Be a Bat?", a complete physical description of the brain processes associated with conscious experience will always leave out precisely the subjective dimension. The facts, the truths, of conscious experience simply do not seem to be captureable in the quantitative terms that science has been accustomed to using since Galileo. Consequently, in recent decades it has become common to hear discourses about consciousness that treat it as an emergent phenomenon: a property irreducible to the physical (not identifiable with the electrochemical processes that take place in the brain) but which emerges from matter when it reaches a certain degree of complexity. This is the proposal of emergentism (which could be described as a type of non-reductive materialism or property dualism, if you recall the first video in this series). This time, we approach emergentism from a critical perspective, first presenting its advantages, but also the reasons why many philosophers feel that this position, rather than solving the fundamental problem of consciousness, simply distracts us from thinking about it. So, is consciousness the result of purely physical processes? Or do we need to go further? (An ideal video as an introduction to philosophy, or for high school and university entrance exams) 🕘 INDEX: 0:00 - The decline of reductive materialism 3:35 - Consciousness as an emergent phenomenon 5:58 - The main objection against emergentism 7:26 - "But there's already an emergency in many places" 9:52 - Don't talk to me about clocks... 11:29 - Don't let weak emergencies be mistaken for strong emergencies 16:37 - Shouting "emergency" solves nothing 21:53 - What if we appeal to psychophysical laws? 😱 And if you're reading THIS, you belong to the 0.5% of people who read the descriptions TO THE END! 👏 Leave me a comment with a lion emoji 🦁 to let me know; if I see a lot of them, you'll make my day! 😄 🎬 RELATED VIDEOS ➡️ Why science will NEVER be able to explain consciousness ►    • Por Qué la Ciencia NUNCA podrá explicar la...   ➡️ Panpsychism isn't as crazy as you think ►    • El Panpsiquismo no es tan loco como piensa...   📚 Main SOURCES: ► Timothy O'Connor (2020), "Emergent Properties," Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy ► Elly Vintiadis, "Emergence," Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy ► William Jaworski (2011), "Philosophy of Mind: A Comprehensive Introduction," Wiley-Blackwell ► Edward Feser (2006), "Philosophy of Mind," OneWorld Publications ► Juan Arana (2015), "The Unexplained Consciousness," Biblioteca Nueva ► David Chalmers (2002), "The Puzzle of Conscious Experience," Scientific American ► David Chalmers (2006), "Strong and Weak Emergence," in P.
