Well the new version is better. Where are you with your book these days?

It’s part of my book under review Alex. I’ll have to check out your paper.

I’ll see you next week then

I would love to see versions of this for ethics and metaphysics.

evidence of cognitive dissonance on the part of the researchers then? You can't lose!

Have you come across Lorraine Besser’s book on this? She’s a philosopher who worked with these scientists. www.hachette.com.au/lorraine-bes...

You don’t have a straightforward paper on musical arousal. If you really want a paper by Robinson there’s a chapter in my volume The Emotional Power of Music called ‘Three theories of emotion—three routes for musical arousal’

In addition to hunger and thirst there's tiredness, boredom, loneliness, lust, ambition, curiosity.

No 'being cold' is first of all not a single word, and second, seems only to describe how things are, and not how one wants to be.

I have rather too many opinions about this 😂 We can email if you like. One quick point is that Karl & Robinson's paper is good, but needs a lot of musical literacy to follow. I lectured on it, and played a clip, but did not force students to read the paper.

And it’s a beautiful time travel story! I’ve now discussed it with two lots of students.

The volume also includes detailed suggestions for teachers of personal identity and related philosophical issues.

The idea is that each science fiction story tests one of the major theories about what we are. Featuring authors like @gregegansf.bsky.social @jrdawson.bsky.social and @adelaidesean.bsky.social they are all accompanied by philosophical commentaries on the implications.

Well done Yuri!

Very interesting Tim. The older I get, the more I find myself drawn to these metaphilosophical issues about what exactly we're up to. Meanwhile, institutional factors rather force me to explain why philosophy might be useful to my colleagues in other disciplines.
