Abstract
ABSTRACT This research argues that if panpsychism adopts the socalled laws of metaphysics, then it will be better equipped to confront one of its most pressing challenges: the revelation problem. By appealing to the laws of metaphysics, it becomes possible to illuminate the problematic nature of the very assumptions underlying the revelation problem, thereby mitigating the urgency it poses for panpsychism.
