101. Why a Landscape of Consciousness?
Explore diverse theories of consciousness, like materialism, dualism, panpsychism, idealism, and diverse ways of thinking about consciousness, like neuroscience, philosophy, wisdom traditions. Compare theories of consciousness on a ‘Landscape of Consciousness.’

102. Arguing Dualism Counts
Dualism is the theory that ultimate reality is composed of two radically different kinds of things, physical things and non-physical things, and that body with brain and spirit or soul account for consciousness. What are arguments for and against Dualism?

103. Arguing Panpsychism Counts
Panpsychism is the theory that consciousness is irreducible and exists fundamentally at the foundations of reality. Are particles or fields in some sense conscious? Could the entire universe be in some sense conscious? What are arguments for and against Panpsychism?

104. Arguing Idealism Counts
Idealism is the theory that all reality is consciousness and only consciousness, and that what we perceive to be the physical world is a manifestation of consciousness. Is fundamental reality pure consciousness? What are arguments for and against Idealism?

105. Could Theories of Consciousness Affect Life After Death?
Life after death is a haunting and deeply personal longing. Can we explore life after death in relation to theories of consciousness, ranging from strict materialism to imaginative philosophy to ancient wisdom traditions?

106. Can AI become Conscious?
AI consciousness, its possibility or probability, has burst into public debate, eliciting all kinds of issues from AI ethics and rights to AI going rogue and harming humanity. Does AI consciousness depend on theories of consciousness?
