Rehumanising science | Carlo Rovelli - Part 2

<p>What makes humans different from nature? What do Confucianism and Daoism have to do with physics? Is science too realist?</p><p>In part 2 of our interview with Carlo Rovelli, we help unpick the history of the philosophy of science. From uncovering how millennia old Chinese philosophers were debating Enlightenment philosophical principles, to finding whether the self and consciousness are functionally identical, Rovelli's argument finds a home in a single statement: we must rehumanise science.</p><p><br /></p><p>Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli is a pioneer of theories like Loop Quantum Gravity, White Holes, and the relational interpretation of quantum mechanics. His books include <em>Seven Brief Lessons on Physics</em>, which has been translated into 41 languages and sold over a million copies, as well as the bestselling <em>Reality Is Not What It Seems</em> (2015) and <em>White Holes</em> (2023). He was named one of the 100 most influential thinkers in the world by <em>Foreign Policy</em> magazine, and is Emeritus Professor at the Centre de Physique Théorique of Marseille, as well as holding positions at the Santa Fe Institute and the Perimeter Institute.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don't hesitate to email us at <strong>podcast@iai.tv</strong> with your thoughts or questions on the episode!</p><p>To witness such talks live buy tickets for our upcoming festival: <a href="https://howthelightgetsin.org/festivals?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=shownotes&amp;utm_campaign=the-brain-filters-consciousness" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://howthelightgetsin.org/festivals/</a></p><p>And visit our website for many more articles, videos, and podcasts like this one: <a href="https://iai.tv/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=shownotes&amp;utm_campaign=the-brain-filters-consciousness" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://iai.tv/</a></p><p>You can find everything we referenced here: <a href="https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimes" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimes</a></p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
