Peter E. Ells

I work in a non-academic role at the Museum of the History of Science, University of Oxford. I have an MA in Philosophy from the University of Reading (2009). My metaphysical position is a form of idealism that does not deny the reality of any entity discovered by science. Instead it holds that all such entities are nothing other than centres of experience. Moreover, all physical properties can be reduced without residue to structural facts about the percepts of these centres of experience. My position can therefore be regarded as a form of panpsychism. I also defend libertarian free will. Three videos of me briefly outlining my position, made during the 2014 Toward a Science of Consciousness conference, may be found by typing "Peter Ells" on YouTube.
