About the Book

Recent debates in philosophy of mind seemingly have resulted in an impasse. Reductive physicalism cannot account for the phenomenal mind, and nonreductive physicalism cannot safeguard a causal role for the mental as mental. Dualism was formerly considered to be the only viable alternative, but in addition to exacerbating the problem of mental causation, it is hard to square with a naturalist evolutionary framework. By 1979, Thomas Nagel argued that if reductionism and dualism fail, and a non-reductionist form of strong emergence cannot be made intelligible, then panpsychism-the thesis that mental being is a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of the universe-might be a viable alternative. But it was not until David Chalmers' The Conscious Mind in 1996 that debates on panpsychism entered the philosophical mainstream. Since then the field has been growing rapidly, and some leading philosophers of mind as well as scientist have argued in favor of panpsychism. This book features contemporary arguments for panpsychism as a genuine alternative in analytic philosophy of mind in the 21st century. Different varieties of panpsychism are represented and systematically related to each other in the volume's 16 essays, which feature not only proponents of panpsychism but also prominent critics from both the physicalist and non-physicalist camps.

Review :
"this collection is addressed to seasoned readers in the philosophy of mind and analytically leaning metaphysics." -- Jörn Kroll, Independent Scholar, Philosophy Practice "The book ... is a very rich resource for studying and thinking about a significant contemporary development in analytical metaphysics and philosophy of mind. ... I found the whole package of papers rewarding reading." -- Robert Merrihew Adams, Grazer Philosophische Studien "I highly recommend this volume to anyone who wants to get the lay of the land concerning panpsychism. Despite the length of this review, I didn't discuss everything of interest in it. Many will come away staring as incredulously as they did from the beginning, but others, perhaps convinced by the need to consider all options seriously, will find themselves educated, if not convinced" --Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "In this volume of collected essays, philosophers of mind do a fine job of demonstrating that panpsychism is a significant and worthwhile question, at least for analytic philosophy. It is both a challenging introduction to the topic and a further development of the issues involved for specialists." --Metascience
