Philosopher Alva Noë (http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~noe/) of UC Berkeley will be interviewed in a live Philosophy Talk program (https://www.meetup.com/Berkeley-philosophy/events/96229262/) in Berkeley on Sunday, January 27. So before we see him (if we decide to see him), let's discuss some of what he's written on consciousness, the brain, and ways of knowing.
