The Mental as Fundamental: New Perspectives on Panpsychism ed. by Michael Blamauer (Ontos Verlag)
Book description from the publisher:
A revival of panpsychistic considerations of the mind’s place in nature has recently enriched the debate on the mind-body problem in the contemporary philosophy of the mind. The essays assembled in the present collection aim to supply a positive contribution to these considerations, providing new perspectives on panpsychism by shedding new light on its arguments and impacts, as well as on its problems and theoretical challenges. Panpsychism is discussed as a position that understands consciousness as a truly fundamental feature of our reality—not only with respect to the human species, but also with respect to the evolution of the universe as such.
