Frank Jackson on What Mary Knew

<p><a href="http://philrsss.anu.edu.au/profile/frank-jackson">Frank Jackson</a> is responsible for one of the most famous thought experiments in the philosophy of mind, one designed to show that physicalism is false. In this episode of the <a href="http://www.philosophybites.com">Philosophy Bites</a> podcast he talks to <a href="http://www.nigelwarburton.com">Nigel Warburton</a> about this thought experiment and how he has come to doubt the conclusions he originally drew from it. Philosophy Bites is made in association with the <a href="http://www.philosophy.sas.ac.uk">Institute of Philosophy</a>.</p>
