Patricia Churchland is UC President’s Professor of Philosophy
Emerita at the University of California, San Diego. She is among
the most well-known and impactful figures working in the
philosophy of mind, and a prominent early neurophilosopher who
advocated the importance of neuroscience in the philosophy of
mind. Pat and Robinson discuss three broad topics:
neurophilosophy and ethics—particularly with reference to two of
her recent books, Braintrust: What Neuroscience Tells Us about
Morality and Conscience: The Origins of Moral Intuition—what
neuroscience has to say about the problem of free will, and the
neurophilosophical approach to consciousness. You can keep up
