Here's a little summary on 'panpsychism' for those who aren't familiar with it:
Here's what I'd like to know here:
1. What is your view on panpsychism? Does the potential for a mind or little minds exist in everything or is there one big Mind out there?
2. What is the logic and evidence for panpsychism? Is it possible for science to validate panpsychism?
Source: David Chalmers, Hard problem of consciousness and Panpsychism by Ali MostajeranPanpsychism is the idea that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe and is present in all matter. In a debate with philosopher Philip Goff in 2019, Chalmers defended his view that panpsychism is a viable solution to the hard problem of consciousness.
Panpsychism is seen as a middle ground between physicalism and dualism, as it avoids the disunified nature of dualism and the inability of physicalism to explain the emergence of consciousness.
The hard problem of consciousness is the question of how subjective experience arises from physical processes in the brain. Chalmers argues that panpsychism is a promising solution to this problem because it posits that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe, rather than an emergent property of complex systems like the brain.
