How the Human Mind Works: Patricia Smith Churchland

Professor of Philosophy Patricia Smith Churchland is probing a new frontier in the area of brain research, convinced that exploration into the physical function of our "wonder tissue" can help us better understand what our thoughts mean and how we can control them. In her book, Neurophilosophy, she describes how recent discoveries about the brain call into question such basic philosophical concepts as free will and rational thinking. In this program with Bill Moyers, Dr. Churchland discusses startling new theories about how the mind works and about how much control we have over our thoughts, decisions, and choices. (30 minutes)
