The well-known scientist Carl Sagan once declared, “I am a collection of water, calcium, and organic molecules called Carl Sagan.” This idea — that matter is the only reality and that everything, including human beings, is therefore entirely reducible to physical explanation — is called “materialism” or “physicalism.” It has had enormous influence in the modern world and contributed to the loss of religious belief and respect for human dignity. In this talk, physicist Stephen Barr will explain why a number of well-known physicists and philosophers have argued that the phenomenon of consciousness is not reducible to physics and thus refutes physicalism.
