Patricia Churchland is a philosopher of mind who tackles the outstanding problem of consciousness from neurobiological point of view.
This is only one of four lectures Churchland is giving on this topic, and this particular lecture asks general questions about consciousness, so that she can delve into more specific issues in subsequent lectures.
Bertrand Russell discusses very briefly his perspective on how the philosophy will progress over time, its relations to science, and continental philosophy.
