"A new volume of papers on panpsychism
edited by philosophers Godehard Bruntrup and Ludwig Jaskolla just
appeared with Oxford University Press. It features paper by prominent
philosophers David Chalmers, Galen Strawson and Brian McLaughlin, among
many others. According to the traditional version of panpsychism,
everything around you is conscious: the chair your are sitting on, the
rock you use as a doorstopper at home and the thick hurricane-safe
windows in your office. Panpsychism literally means that particular
kinds of psychological states are embedded in everything. An alternative
to the traditional view is the view that everything around you has a
form of rudimentary consciousness."
Is There Consciousness in Everything?
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
