The argument from consciousness is an argument for God's existence from the existence of finite, irreducible consciousness in animals and humans. The argument is presented, its premises evaluated, and the inadequacies of strong naturalism, emergent panpsychism, and constitutive panprotopsychism are presented.

Most contemporary philosophers do not consider panpsychism to be a plausible position, though it is safe to say that the failure of strong physicalism and the growing adoption of property/event dualism will most likely restore panpsychism as a viewpoint to be taken seriously. Indeed, there is some evidence that this is already taking place, even among toughminded analytic philosophers.1
