Alva Noë (b.1964)

In the quiet twilight of our thoughts, we explore the profound insights of philosopher Alva Noë, who invites us to view perception not as a passive reception but an active engagement with the world around us. Through the gentle unfolding of ideas, we discover how our bodies and minds are not mere observers but vibrant participants in the tapestry of experience. As we delve into the notion that consciousness extends beyond the confines of our brains, intertwining with every breath and heartbeat, we find ourselves reimagining the art of perception and consciousness. Let these thoughts linger in the soothing shadows of tonight’s sleepcast, guiding us into a peaceful reverie where we might see the world anew as we drift into sleep.This episode is hosted by William Davis.
