Episode #180 ... What if everything is consciousness? - Phillip Goff on Panpsychism

Philosophize This!

INSIGHT

Panpsychism

  • Panpsychism aims to reconcile mathematical physics with consciousness by proposing consciousness as fundamental and ubiquitous.
  • It suggests simple conscious entities underlie physical matter, existing even at the subatomic level with basic internal experiences.
  • These entities form networks, creating increasing complexity that culminates in human consciousness.
  • This contrasts with dualism; consciousness isn't embedded in particles but constitutes them.
  • Physics can map reality's structures because these conscious particles are predictable, and their combination leads to higher forms of consciousness.
