Soul Dust: the magic of consciousness
Loading...
Uploaded by lsewebsite on Feb 18, 2011
Speaker: Professor Nicholas Humphrey
Chair: Professor Charles Stafford
This event was recorded on 15 February 2011 in Hong Kong Theatre, Clement House
How is consciousness possible? What biological purpose does it serve? Nicholas Humphrey has a radical new theory. Consciousness, he argues, is nothing less than a magical-mystery show that we stage inside our own heads -- paving the way for spirituality, and allowing us to reap the rewards, and anxieties, of living in the 'soul niche'. Nicholas Humphrey is emeritus professor of psychology at LSE. His many books include A History of the Mind, Leaps of Faith and, most recently, Soul Dust. This lecture is supported by the LSE Annual Fund.

LSE should not be showing this nonsense. What he is saying amounts to a tautology - your mind creates your mind, etc - which has no place in any rational discussion. Please get more scientific thinkers in next time, LSE.

It is certainly appreciated that the LSE filmed, and posted this presentation by Prof. Humphrey to Youtube, However, when a speaker has taken the time to accompany a speech with illustrations, it is a pity that the person filming this presentation was not capable of also including those slides.
