Panpsychism: Rethinking Consciousness

This chapter examines the philosophy of panpsychism as introduced in Philip Goff's 'Galileo's Error', arguing for the inclusion of consciousness in scientific discourse. It highlights the limitations of current scientific models in addressing the subjective nature of experiences while proposing that consciousness is a fundamental quality of all matter. The discussion also explores the implications of this view on our relationship with the natural world and moral obligations toward other living beings.
