Gabriel Greenberg is a professor of philosophy at the University
of California Los Angeles, and currently a visiting professor at
Stanford University. He works widely across the philosophy of
mind, but in particular studies iconic representation, modality,
and computation. Gabe and Robinson talk about the rough divide
between representation and consciousness studies in the
philosophy of mind before going into the distinction between
signs and symbols, and how the brain interprets them. They finish
with a departure into the world of philosophy, film, and
cognitive science, discussing how our minds stitch together the
scenes of a movie and integrate them into a whole.
