Panpsychism in the West
September 15, 2017 David Skrbina
Panpsychism, the theory that mind exists in some form in all living and nonliving things, is argued to be a crucial meta-theory linking being and mind. The book examines panpsychist views from pre-Socratic philosophers through post-structuralists, covering the problem of emergence of mind from non-mental reality and the combination problem. This revised edition includes expanded discussions of pre-Socratics, Plato, Augustine, Continental panpsychism, Nietzsche, Whitehead, and Russellian monism, reflecting the growth of panpsychism as a subdiscipline.
