Arnold’s book
I recently realized that I am coming up on the 100th episode of Consciousness Live! The frequency of these has varied from year to year, sometimes having weekly conversations, sometime bi-weekly, or monthly, etc., but overall I have been averaging one discussion a month for the last eight years. This made me start to think that I should do something fun for the 100th episode.
I also happen to have a book which just came out and I was thinking of organizing an ‘Author meets Reader/Critic’ type session as part of the next season of Consciousness Live. As I was thinking about who it would be fun to invite I suddenly thought that maybe this would make a fun 100th episode for Consciousness Live! I have spent hours grilling my guests on their work, maybe they might want to get some get back and grill me a bit on my new book.
Things are still in the planning stages but so far it is shaping up to be a real Brown-a-palooza with commentary and discussion of themes from my book Consciousness as Representing One’s Mind featuring past guests on Consciousness Live! As far as timing is concerned, May 14th 2026 is seeming to be the day for it. Check this space for details and updates.
I am also open to the possibility those who haven’t been a past guest on Consciousness Live! commenting on some aspect of my book, so if you have something you would like to say send me and email with a proposal! In the meantime the countdown continues with Graham Priest (#93) coming up later today!
Summer is unofficially over and I am happy to announce the starting lineup for the Fall 2025 series of Consciousness Live! (Season 8). I am still in the midst of putting things together so stay tuned for updates! (all times giving Eastern Standard)
