#261 – Philip Goff: Consciousness, Panpsychism, and the Philosophy of Mind
Lex Fridman Podcast
Getting Physics Out of Consciousness
I'm a little confused by why you need to get physics out of consciousness I mean to me it sounds like panpsychism unites consciousness and physics. There's no reason why that kind of framework cannot also include some accurate precise description of whatever simple consciousness characteristics are present there at the lowest level if panpsychist theories have truth to them. The idea is yeah mass in its nature is a very simple form of consciousness so yeah physics in a sense is complete because it tells us what everything at the fundamental level does It describes its causal capacities but for the panpsychist at least physics doesn't tell us what matter is it tells uswhat it does but not what it is to make sense of
