Event Detail

Panpsychism is a plausible theory of the fundamental nature of reality. It’s fully compatible with physics and with physicalism. Anyone who holds the following— [i] physicalism is true, [ii] consciousness is real, [iii] there is no “radical emergence” —should at least endorse [iv] psychism, the view that mind or consciousness is a fundamental feature of concrete reality, and given [v] the interconvertibility (fungibility) of all fundamental forms of physical stuff, panpsychism appears to be the most plausible form of psychism.
