Evan Thompson is a philosopher and professor at the University of British Columbia. He specialises in the philosophy of mind and cognitive science, as well as in cross-cultural philosophy, with a particular interest in Chinese and Indian philosophy and the dialogue between Buddhism and the Western philosophical tradition. He's the author of several books including Mind and Life, Why I'm not a Buddhist, The Embodied Mind, co-authored with Francisco Varela and Eleanor Rosch, and Waking, Dreaming, Being. Today we discuss the idea that all life is conscious, known as biopsychism, and the issues it raises form a philosophical perspective. http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/20323/
