Joseph LeDoux is Henry and Lucy Moses Professor of Science,
University Professor, Professor of Neural Science, Professor of
Psychiatry, and Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at
New York University, where he works in neuroscience and related
areas. Though his career is expansive, one major focus of his
research has been emotions in humans and other animals. He is
also the frontman of The Amygdaloids. Joseph’s most recent book
is The Four Realms of Existence: A New Theory of Being Human
(Harvard, 2023). In this episode, Joseph and Robinson discuss
psychoanalysis, the nature of biological life, how nervous
systems evolved, and the relationship between consciousness and
cognition.
