Illustrated Podnotes - What Is Consciousness?

I follow the Modern Wisdom podcast put out every week by Chris Williamson.

I’ve found a lot of the content to be informative and useful, so I decided to start doing some Illustrated Podnotes to go with some of the episodes. Here is the intro to the podcast:

Philip Goff is a Professor of Philosophy at Durham University and an author.

Consciousness is the most evident of all phenomenons. It's the one thing we can actually be sure of, and yet we have a very limited understanding of what it is and why it's here.

Expect to learn the main philosophical positions on consciousness, why Philip thinks the old proposals are insufficient to explain our awareness, what time racism means, why Deepak Chopra just won't me alone and much more...

See if you can guess the philosopher this one is based on.

However being faced by a tiger does help you to clarify your thoughts rather rapidly!
