Relationship between Consciousness and Matter

Eindhoven University of Technology: Eindhoven, Holland – August 8, 1985 / (102)

In a talk given at the Eindhoven University of Technology, Thompson discusses accounting for consciousness within the framework of a mechanistic paradigm. After considering the solutions offered by Walter Elsasser, Eugene Wigner, and David Bohm, Thompson introduces the concept from the Vedic tradition of jīva and Paramātmā as part of an explanatory framework. A lively Question & Answer session explores some of the insights that can be gained from this approach.
