The Blind Spot PodcastEpisode 9: Why Science Hasn't Solved Consciousness (Yet)ENG:Why science can’t figure out consciousness? In this conversation we explore this question by exposing some of the flaws of thinking about consciousness as something that can be modeled in some sort of mechanistic sense- science gets stuck when we try to think about thinking from the outside in — When we can’t escape the fact that we can abstract mind from within mind.PT: Por que a ciência não consegue explicar a consciência?Nesta conversa, exploramos essa questão revelando algumas falh...2025-08-0749 min

The Blind Spot PodcastEpisode 7: Life: Beyond the Machine MetaphorEN:In this episode, Adam and Evan go deep into the nature of life — what we know and what we don’t know about it. It turns out we know much more about what life does than about what life is.

Groundless Ground PodcastEvan Thompson On Why He Is Not A BuddhistMy second dialogue with Evan Thompson covers his latest and most controversial book, Why I Am Not A Buddhist, which spotlights conceptual and functional problems with Buddhist modernism, Buddhist exceptionalism, Buddhist Empiricism, and neural Buddhism. With philosophical adeptness, Evan argues a cosmopolitan view of not-self and enlightenment, and skillfully slays popular one-dimensional co-options of the Buddhist teachings by Robert Wright and Sam Harris. This episode is dedicated to Evan’s father, writer and scholar William Irwin Thompson who recently passed away; a man who profoundly impacted my life particularly during my 20’s, when I was deeply interested in the cultura...2020-11-2759 min
ICE@Dartmouth PodcastThinking about Thought: Evan Thompson on Embodied Cognition, neuroscience, and PhenomenologyProviding a theory of the mind that tells us what it is, how it works, and how it relates to the brain or body is an intensely difficult project. Thinkers have been struggling with it for thousands of years. It is no less difficult a project today, but recent work that brings insights from different disciplines, cultures, and schools of thought is offering us the chance to think about the mind in novel and fruitful ways. This is exactly what Dr Evan Thompson is doing and we are going to talk about how he is doing it in this...2020-11-1947 minConsciousness Live!Evan Thompson Live!

Two Psychologists Four BeersWhy Buddhism is Wrong (with Evan Thompson)Yoel and Mickey have a far ranging conversation with University of British Columbia professor of philosophy, Evan Thompson. Despite growing up with a daily meditation practice and contributing to the cognitive science of mindfulness, why does Evan not consider himself a Buddhist? Is Buddhism a religion that is truly different from other religions? Is the self an illusion, as is popularily portrayed by Buddhist modernists such as Sam Harris? What do failures to replicate social psychology studies of embodied cognition mean for the larger enterprise of embodied cognition? Can science and traditional Buddhism co-exist? Why is Evolutionary Psychology a...2020-07-151h 19

The Mindful CranksEvan Thompson - Why I Am Not a BuddhistHow many times have you heard people claim that Buddhism isn’t really a religion, that it’s a philosophy, a way of life, that its spiritual but not religious, or even that it’s a “science of mind”? These familiar tropes are a legacy of Buddhist Modernism, what Evan Thompson aptly has coined “Buddhist exceptionalism.” In this episode we explore these common claims, especially how they have been taken up by Secular Buddhists, mindfulness teachers and even scientists. We explore in this interview the historical reasons for why Buddhism has received special treatment, with its modernist claim that it is fundament...2020-04-221h 23

Tricycle TalksEvan Thompson: Why I'm Not a BuddhistBuddhism is not a religion at all––at the same time, it’s the true essence of all religions. And yet it is also compatible with science, or even a “mind science” itself. Do these ideas sound familiar? They’re part of a constellation of claims that scholar Evan Thompson calls “Buddhist exceptionalism,” the idea that Buddhism stands apart from all other religions as uniquely rational. Evan is a professor of philosophy at the University of British Columbia as well as a longtime fellow at the Mind and Life Institute, which examines the intersection of science and contemplative wisdom. However, in his...2020-01-2857 min

Edge of Mind PodcastEvan Thompson Discusses Enactivism, “Quantum Phenomenology”, Buddhist Exceptionalism, Etc.Join Andrew and celebrated philosopher Evan Thompson in a remarkable conversation that covers a vast terrain of topics. The discussion begins with a look at enactivism, the revolutionary concept explored with neuroscientist Francesco Varela in the landmark book The Embodied Mind, co-authored with Evan. The enactive view provides a platform for “I-making” as explored in Dr. Thompson’s most recent book, Waking Dreaming Being – that the self is an ongoing process of construction, a process that can be explored as the sense of self trans-forms when we fall into sleep and dream. The conversation then turns to “quantum phenomenology,” Evan’s term...2019-11-171h 46

New Books in Spiritual Practice and MindfulnessEvan Thompson, “Waking, Dreaming, Being: Self and Consciousness in Neuroscience, Meditation, and Philosophy” (Columbia UP, 2014)The quest for an explanation of consciousness is currently dominated by scientific efforts to find the neural correlates of conscious states, on the assumption that these states are dependent on the brain. A very different way of exploring consciousness is undertaken within various Indian religious traditions, in which subtle states of consciousness and transitions between such states can be revealed through meditation. In Waking, Dreaming, Being: Self and Consciousness in Neuroscience, Meditation, and Philosophy (Columbia University Press, 2014), Evan Thompson draws on neuroscience and these meditative traditions to illuminate consciousness and the nature of the self while avoiding both neuro-reductionist...2015-02-151h 05
