Panpsychism is the view that consciousness - the most puzzling and
strangest phenomenon in the entire universe - is a fundamental and
ubiquitous feature of the world, though in a form very remote from
human consciousness. At a very basic level, the world is awake.
Panpsychism seems implausible to most, and yet it has experienced a
remarkable renaissance of interest over the last quarter century.
The reason is the stubbornly intractable problem of consciousness.
Despite immense progress in understanding the brain and its
relation to states of consciousness, we still really have no idea
how consciousness emerges from physical processes which are
presumed to be entirely non-conscious. The Routledge Handbook of
Panpsychism provides a high-level comprehensive examination and
assessment of the subject - its history and contemporary
development. It offers 28 chapters, appearing in print here for the
first time, from the world's leading researchers on panpsychism.
The chapters are divided into four sections that integrate
panpsychism's relevance with important issues in philosophy of
mind, philosophy of science, metaphysics, and even ethics:
Historical Reflections Forms of Panpsychism Comparative
Alternatives How Does Panpsychism Work? The volume will be useful
to students and scholars as both an introduction and as
cutting-edge philosophical engagement with the subject. For anyone
interested in a philosophical approach to panpsychism, the Handbook
will supply fascinating and enlightening reading. The topics
covered are highly diverse, representing a spectrum of views on the
nature of mind and world from various standpoints which take
panpsychism seriously.
