Very thought provoking. As a social worker id like to express more how multidisciplinary approaches can support this model. This is largely in line with theory principles of social work, people in their context.

The creatures use the term consciousness but does not trouble themselves to define it. First of all define or make clear what you suppose yourself to be explaining and it would help if you can set out what you suppose the word " consciousness to mean or exactly what you seek to convey when you use the word, because it would be rather queer to sought to "explain" something without having any clear idea what you are explaining or trying to explain or have absolutely no idea what you suppose " consciousness to be, or what experience or phenomenon you are *calling* consciousness

Hello Robert. I don't know if you own the account. Greetings from the Russian researchers of Hegel's work. Do you think that the fact that the "absolute spirit" is a synergistic form of mutual recognition in Hegel's philosophy, and the principle of universal self-awareness, can this principle be applied to the relation of classes?

Very helpful, thank you!

The latest idiocy to show up. Just as bad as the Behaviorism of the past century which N. Chomsky, thankfully, refuted as the gibberish it was. Hopefully, someone will show up to refute this nonsense. What has happened to philosophy, once a respected profession with great minds discussing ideas. Now we have a reductionist who wants to inform us that we really do not have minds, we just think we have. Enough. I would not usually advise taking a controlled substance but P. Churchland may benefit from one.

You need to properly define the term, 'proof.' You have none.

As of July 2024, Labour has decided free speech is not so much of an important issue in higher education in the UK, and Arif is out of a job! And, the second speaker, if she had her way, would either engender a totalitarian state or spark civil war.

It's honestly very sad that there are only four other comments... I wish more people were interested in philosophy.

I read that people exist that don't have an internal monologue at all. I found that strange

Is this based around the Power threat meaning framework? I really hope this becomes mainstream

Are you sure you understand life, or you just think you understand it? Because if you think you just imagine that you know it.

If you have two competing theories, and they're empirically equivalent -- that is, there is no way you can ever determine that one of them is false -- that's a strong hint that you're trying to understand something that doesn't actually exist.

FIRST! 🎉 Equality is non-existent in this phenomenal sphere. Equality exists in abstract ideas such as mathematics and arguably on the sub-atomic level ALONE.🤓 UNFORTUNATELY, it requires an intelligence quotient above double-digits in order to be able to comprehend such truthful concepts. 😛

Although it is a complex comprehensive framework, when simplified it is common sense

A - Prove the existence of God B - Prove your own consciousness A - Look I have a brain B - I just see electrons and neutrons moving around, where is your consciousness? A - Come on, there is an experience behind these physical processes!!! B - Now apply this to universe...

The question about the existence of God does not call for material evidence, but call for evidence of a consciousness in universe. At the moment there is evidence for consciousness in universe, us. So God is a valid possibility... not just that... maybe it is the only possibility.

I love the music at the beginning of each video!

Wow excellent question at 1hr 2mins

Schizophrenic: *stabs mother to death during a psychotic episode because they thought she was a demon* What these people want the mental health clinician to say: "You stabbing your mother to death was VALID!" What are we even talking about here!

Can Consciousness be Explained? yes it is drivel you need to think about awareness and leave delusion out of the equasion

Hugely important and under-appreciated perspective. The psychological sciences--including psychoanalysis would benefit from a more fine-grained appreciation of subjectivity. It would promote more empathic therapies and more respect for the differences in others' experience that are often explained away by the mechanistic/objectivist frameworks that undergird conventional mental health models.

Why can't the Brits ever get to the point besides the annoying accent.

Fatal flaw: the impoverished are undeniably the most oppressed people on earth, regardless of any other group. I didn't even see poor people on that list, but Paki is a slur tantamount to Yanke? Canuck isn't on the list, presumably that's because we've named a sports team after it, and we all know sports teams always have moral purity in the nomenclature. As a Canadian I'm not offended by racial, or gendered, or orientation because I realize all of that prejudice is clearly meaningless to anyone who has a brain. What is treated as meaningless but actually is the worst subjugated (poverty), is never addressed - including this lecture (unless conjecturing with prejudice that the poverty must be a symptom of race and couldn't possibly be a person or the state's infantalization of a "group"... Don't you see the contradiction here? You presume knock on effects of words and exclusion to combat what you perceive as painful to others, but none of this matters to a mildly educated person, yet the biggest factor of financial status or mental health doesn't even trip the radar because you just know these people over here and there because they were oppressed the most, despite the data. Hate speech is a joke when you pretend society thinks it's ok because since growing up in the 90's, I've never been in a public place where everyone around didn't chastised a person performing hate speech even though it isn't illegal. It's a moray, and one of the strongest I can think of. But nobody even cares about debt traps and predatory commercialism to the impoverished, openly and casually even though they're the most oppressed in North America by far. It's borderline hypocritical, imho.

This was the perfect mix of philosophy and law. Loved this lecture, thanks so much for the upload.

Main part of speech is 53:20 to 56:00. He makes it clear throughout he detests nationalism, and although he doesn't believe in ceremonies, he thinks it would be a good idea to use "subnational and cross-national groups identified through the mechanism of ceremonies" to undermine nationalism. That is why he is studying ceremonies. But is nationalism all bad? Why does he want so badly to undermine it?

You might want to re-title this "insane" for our American cousins. Mad means angry over there.

Interesting topic and I really tried to power through, but the speaker’s manner of talking is very incoherent to me. It’s really difficult to follow when a sentence or thought isn’t fully formed before moving on to the next one.

Just a reminder: no fire drills are planned. So you can safely ignore any alarm bells that accidentally go off.

Language is only necessary for consciousness if your definition encapsulates introspection as a prerequisite for consciousness. Which I find patently absurd. I would argue that all mammalian animals possess consciousness but are not introspective in the way that necessitates language.

This was a wonderful talk! I hope we will see more consideration of the Power Threat Meaning Framework and other alternatives in the field of mental health

The Royal Institute of Philosophy seems to be in a death spiral, as nearly all the lectures end up blaming white men for the ills of the world. Here we have two women who suggest that all mental problems are a result of power imbalances, and all their examples are of female survivors, as if men don't count. Men are more likely to commit suicide, but who cares? Not them.

This is great we need more videos like this, exploring the philosophy and ideas around gender in such a positive way

Could use some inner peace to aid ease the thought process to that still place where all the answers you are

Phillip be like: Where the metaphysics at?

LOL!!!!! finally update

It distinctly starts about healthcare, but then veers into Black Lives Matter and the Me Too movement, and completely forgets about healthcare. Then the usual beatification of minorities and demonisation of men, politicians, the police and white people.

Seems an elaborate theoretical framework for some pretty basic practical points. And ones that don't have much to do with philosophy so much as specific ethical guidelines for mental health, which is applied ethics at most.

I think the guests should qualify “human” consciousness if that’s what they are talking about.

So primitive questions about consciousness.. you guys just like squirrels in a wheel. That's all you have to do is to accept that the mind has intangible nature!

Calling something a controlled hallucination is poisoning the well

Consciousness can be explained quite well from the perspective of biological evolution

This man is a genius.

Surely the potential of consciousness and unconsciousness existed before, during and after the big bang ... long before homo sapiens became aware of consciousness and named it. If this is true, then how might the potential of consciousness and the potential of unconsciousness exist without either being aware of their individual and combined potential?

Starts at 3.15. Goff and Antony seem to prioritize clarity, in stark contrast to the others, who insist on the jargon of academe. I vote for Goff and Antony.

Well done.
