25 - Jacob Bell on Structural Realism and Neutral Monism

My guest today is Jacob Bell. Jacob has written articles on ancient philosophy for Classical Wisdom Weekly, and he manages a popular Facebook page called Philosophy Daily. (https://www.facebook.com/loveofphilosophy/) We discuss what’s become the norm for this podcast, consciousness. We spend a lot of time on neutral monism and structural realism (or as it’s sometimes called, relational metaphysics). We also touch upon emergence, intrinsic natures, causation, and the Aristotelian notion of potentiality and actuality.
