Are philosophy and science entirely different paradigms for thinking about the world? Or should we think of them as continuous: overlapping in their concerns and complementary in their tools?David Papineau is a professor at Kings College London and the author of over a dozen books. He's thought about many topics — consciousness, causation the arrow of time, the interpretation of quantum mechanics — and in all of these he advocates engagement with science. The philosopher should take its cue from our best theories of nature.For example, a philosophical account of causation must pay attention to the way this concept is used in the sciences.But the philosopher can also be a servant of science. Philosophers are undaunted, excited even, by apparent paradoxes and where such thorny problems pop up in science this is where philosophical tools can be brought to bear. For instance, when quantum mechanics appears to suggest cats are alive and dead, the philosopher's interest is piqued (even as the physicist's attention may wane).

Philosophical problems are all around us. From economics to games and sports, most people in the world are philosophizing every day, maybe without even realizing it. David Papineau is a Professor of Philosophy of Science at the King's College London. He's written numerous books, including The Metaphysics of Sensory Experience and Knowing the Score: What Sports Can Teach Us About Philosophy (And What Philosophy Can Teach Us About Sports). David is also a visiting professor at City University of New York.David and Greg discuss how philosophy can be applied to virtually anything, even sports. They delve into questions around the role sports play in our lives, what sports can reveal about conscious control and the philosophical puzzles regarding fandom. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:How our performance function differs in sports19:01: In sports, when you are competing, there's not much that can be left to unmonitored routine. I mean, there's a difference between somebody who's doing the vaulting horse in gymnastics or a hundred-meter sprint. There's a level of focus and intensity in competition that you can't reproduce every time in practice. And if you don't have it in mind now, we're competing. What's to tell your body that you're not in practice mode? You've got to gear things up and keep them there.A general point about conventions and morality29:01: This is a general point about conventions and morality. We need some rules to have all kinds of things that we benefit from and enjoy, but exactly which set of rules we have doesn't matter too much up to a point.How much control do we really have over our consciousness? 13:21: Many of my philosophical colleagues would say that if you are acting intentionally, your eyes are open, and you are awake, then your consciousness is playing a controlling role all the time. And that was the idea I wanted to resist by saying that in these fast sporting contexts, there isn't any time.Conventions are like contracts21:18: There are some sports where, maybe more so in the past, where it wasn't acceptable to say anything to distract your opponent. And then there are sports where it's acceptable. Everybody knows you might get inside somebody's head a bit, but that's part of the game. But you are allowed to make jokes and make certain kinds of comments, but you aren't supposed to be talking, making comments, or disreputable comments about their wives or mothers. And so, the way I think about it is that these conventions, which vary from sport to sport, are like a kind of contract or deal.Show Links:Recommended Resources:The Great British Bake Off Roger FedererRafael Nadal2006 World Cup clip2023 Super Bowl holding callArsenal Football ClubTottenham Hotspur Football ClubRory McIlroySol CampbellRussell's ParadoxContinuum HypothesisGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at King's College LondonVisiting Professor profile at City University of New YorkDavid Papineau's WebsiteDavid Papineau on TwitterHis Work:David Papineau on Google ScholarArticles on AeonThe Metaphysics of Sensory ExperienceKnowing the Score: What Sports Can Teach Us About Philosophy (And What Philosophy Can Teach Us About Sports)Philosophical Devices: Proofs, Probabilities, Possibilities, and SetsThinking about ConsciousnessIntroducing Consciousness: A Graphic Guide

David Papineau is Professor of Philosophy of Science at King's College London. He also teaches at the City University of New York Graduate Center, and before that he lectured in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at Cambridge. Robinson and David speak broadly about the philosophy of science. Some topics they touch on include the distinction between realism and antirealism, the role of a philosopher of science in actual scientific practice, and the current replication crisis. They finish with an introduction to the statistical theory of causation. For some background information, listen to David's episode of Philosophy Bites on scientific realism. The painting used in the “album art” comes by way of David's daughter, Katy Papineau. See her website for more information. David's most recent book is the Metaphysics of Sensory Experience (OUP 2021), a discussion of which will have to wait for another episode.

Angela Mendelovici (University of Western Ontorio) is a prominent proponent of the 'Phenomenal Intentionality Theory': the view that all mental representation is at least partly grounded in consciousness. This view contrasts with David Papineau's as to how consciousness connects us to reality, which we discussed in an earlier episode. Our main focus will be to explore the Phenomenal Intentionality Theory, but Angela also happens to be a panpsychist, so Philip is hoping this will finally be a guest that agrees with him more than Keith.

Keith and Philip interview David Papineau (Professor of Philosophy at King's College London) about his recent book 'The Metaphysics of Sensory Experience'. David is also a materialist who believes in consciousness, so there'll probably be a big old fight about that too.

Prominent Christian Philosopher & Theologian Keith Ward engaged in conversation with David Papinaeu, atheist Professor of Philosophy from King's College London, on the question: "Is our mind more than matter"? Ward believes that the brain is accompanied by an immaterial mind, while Papinaeu believes the brain and the mind to be one in the same - with nothing immaterial about it.

His new book is The Metaphysics of Sensory Experience. In this episode, we focus on The Metaphysics of Sensory Experience. We first define sensory experience, discuss its conscious nature, and talk about false sensory experiences, like illusions and hallucinations. We ask if sensory experience is primarily about objects of subjects, and we also define what an object of perception is. We discuss the relationship between metaphysics and epistemology. We talk about different theories in the metaphysics of sensory experience, including naïve realism, representationalism, and sense-datum theories. We detail Dr. Papineau's qualitative view of sensory experience, and ask if it has anything to say about concepts and consciousness. We talk about the distinction between sensory experience and thought. Finally, we discuss if answering questions in the metaphysics of sensory experience has any implications for metaphysics more generally. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, THOMAS TRUMBLE, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, OMARI HICKSON, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, MIRAN B, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, MAX BEILBY, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, AND SAIMA AFZAL!

He's also the author of 9 books, including Philosophical Naturalism, Thinking About Consciousness, and Knowing the Score. In this episode, we talk about naturalism, and consciousness and mental phenomena. We start by discussing what naturalism is; if there are problems that science can't deal with; and how philosophy can contribute to science and the scientific method. Then, we move on to talking about consciousness. We first tackle the issues with mind-brain dualism, and then we discuss consciousness and action, and the Libet experiments in the 1980's; we also deal with the hard problem of consciousness, and the issues with emergentism. Finally, we debate the possibility of mental phenomena being nothing more than illusions, and what is real in how we experience the world, with a focus on our perceptual systems.

On Episode 61, Nick chats with Dr. David Papineau, Professor of Philosophy of Science at King's College London and the City University of New York Graduate Center, about stories from his early days studying the logic of statistical inference under Ian Hacking, his work on philosophical naturalism, teleosemantics, and consciousness, and how he came to write his most recent book, “Knowing the Score: How Sport teaches us about Philosophy (and Philosophy about Sport).”
Today I talk to David Papineau about his book Knowing The Score: How Philosophy can Teach us about Sport and Sport can Teach Us about Philosophy. Philosopher David Papineau explains how sport sheds light on unresolved questions regarding the connection between intention and action and regarding how rules can or cannot give rise to moral reasons, and lays out his fascinating theory of why sport matters - what its value is.

Everything you could need is on www.thepanpsycast.com! Please tweet us your thoughts at www.twitter.com/thepanpsycast. In the words of David Chalmers, “The hard problem of consciousness is the problem of experience. When we think and perceive, there is a whir of information-processing, but there is also a subjective aspect. As Nagel has put it, there is something it is like to be a conscious organism. This subjective aspect is experience. When we see, for example, we experience visual sensations: the felt quality of redness, the experience of dark and light, the quality of depth in a visual field. What unites all of these states is that there is something it is like to be in them. All of them are states of experience.” Debating the question, 'Does physicalism address the hard problem of consciousness?' are Philip Goff (www.philipgoffphilosophy.com) and David Papineau (www.DavidPapineau.com).

Scientists talk about sub-atomic particles which are invisible to the eye. Do such particles really exist? Or are they simply convenient fictions that, for the moment at least, explain the observable phenomena? David Papineau discusses and defends scientific realism in this episode of Philosophy Bites.
Melvyn Bragg and guests examine the relationship between the mind and the brain as they discuss recent developments in Neuroscience. In the mid-19th century a doctor had a patient who had suffered a stroke. The patient was unable to speak save for one word. The word was ‘Tan' which became his name. When Tan died, the doctor discovered damage to the left side of his brain and concluded that the ability to speak was housed there. This is how neuroscience used to work – by examining the dead or investigating the damaged – but now things have changed. Imaging machines and other technologies enable us to see the active brain in everyday life, to observe the activation of its cells and the mass firing of its neuron batteries. Our extraordinary new knowledge of how the brain works has challenged concepts of free will and consciousness and opened up new ways of understanding the brain. Yet these new ideas seem to conform to some old ideas such as Freudian Psychoanalysis. But what picture of the brain has emerged, how has our understanding of it changed and what are the implications for understanding that most mysterious and significant of all phenomena – the human mind?With Martin Conway, Professor of Psychology at the University of Leeds; Gemma Calvert, Professor of Applied Neuroimaging at WMG, University of Warwick and David Papineau, Professor of Philosophy of Science at King's College London.

Are all our thoughts simply physical events in our bodies? Can we give a purely physical account of the conscious human mind? David Papineau believes that we can. In this interview for Philosophy Bites he explains what physicalism is, why he believes it to be true, and how it can be defended against a range of criticisms.
Melvyn Bragg examines whether world is a fundamentally chaotic or orderly place. When Newton published his Principia Mathematica in 1687 his work was founded on one simple message: Nature has laws and we can find them. His explanation of the movements of the planets, and of gravity, was rooted in the principle that the universe functions like a machine and its patterns are predictable. Newton's equations not only explained why night follows day but, importantly, predicted that night would continue to follow day for evermore. Three hundred years later Newton's principles were thrown into question by a dread word that represented the antithesis of his vision of order: that word was Chaos. According to Chaos Theory, the world is far more complicated than was previously thought. Instead of the future of the universe being irredeemably fixed, we are, in fact, subject to the whims of random unpredictability. Tiny actions can change the world by setting off an infinite chain of reactions: famously, if a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil - it could cause a tornado in Berlin. So what's the answer? Is the universe chaotic or orderly? If it's all so complicated, why does night still follow day? And what is going on in that most complex machine of all - the brain - to filter and construct our perception of the world?
