CHAPTER

Consciousness Beyond Death: Exploring Panpsychism

This chapter investigates the philosophical implications of death and consciousness through contrasting views of physicalism and panpsychism. It proposes that while physicalism associates consciousness solely with brain activity, panpsychism posits consciousness as a fundamental aspect of reality that may persist beyond physical existence. The discussion further connects these ideas to advanced theoretical physics and the nature of the universe, revealing new insights into the relationship between consciousness and reality.
