Die Probleme der reduktiv-physikalistischen Ansätze in der Geist-Gehirn-Debatte führten zu einer Renaissance von Ansätzen, die man als nicht-reduktive Theorien bezeichnen kann. Darunter auch der sogenannte Panpsychismus, der in jüngster Vergangenheit einige prominente Fürsprecher gewinnen konnte. Zwar gibt es innerhalb des Panpsychismus verschiedene Strömungen, gemeinsam ist diesen Positionen, dass sie Vorstufen von Erfahrungsfähigkeit für alle Entitäten des Universums behaupten. Obwohl diese Position eine lange philosophiegeschichtliche Tradition hat, ist sie erst in den letzten Jahren wieder durch Veröffentlichungen von David Chalmers, Galen Strawson und Gregg Rosenberg in die Diskussion gebracht worden, die nun auch im deutschsprachigen Raum intensiver geführt wird. Der Band versteht sich als kritische Ein- und Weiterführung der aktuellen Debatte. Aus diesem Grund sind dort Beiträge versammelt, in denen die Hauptargumente und -begriffe dieser Position analysiert werden: So wird in die Debatte eingeführt, und Implikationen und Weiterführungen können kritisch diskutiert werden. Gemäß dieser Intention gliedert sich der Band in drei Teile: Im ersten Teil werden grundlegende Konzepte und Argumente vorgestellt, so dass der Leser einen Überblick über die Geschichte, Begriffe und aktuelle Debatte erhält. Im zweiten Teil wird der Erklärungswert des Panpsychismus mit konkreten Einzelwissenschaften in Verbindung gebracht. Im dritten Teil werden dann noch einmal spezifischere Aspekte des Panpsychismus behandelt.

Recent debates in philosophy of mind have resulted in an impasse, which lead to a renaissance of panpsychism as a viable alternative. Panpsychism is the thesis that mental being is a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of the universe. The first, systematic, state-of-the-art anthology on panpsychism. Challenges the standard physicalistic worldview. Contains original articles making exciting contributions to the academic landscape.

A revival of panpsychistic considerations of the mind's place in nature has recently enriched the debate on the mind-body problem in contemporary philosophy of 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.

For the last five years philosopher Galen Strawson has provoked a mixture of shock and scepticism with his carefully argued case that physicalism (the view that every real, concrete phenomenon in the universe is physical) entails panpsychism (the view that the existence of every real concrete thing involves experiential being). In this book Strawson provides the fullest and most careful statement of his position to date, throwing down the gauntlet to his critics ― including Peter Carruthers, Frank Jackson, David Rosenthal and J.J.C. Smart ― by inviting them to respond in print. The book concludes with Strawson's response to his commentators.

This book explores a neglected philosophical question: How do groups of interacting minds relate to singular minds? Could several of us, by organizing ourselves the right way, constitute a single conscious mind that contains our minds as parts? And could each of us have been, all along, a group of mental parts in close cooperation? Scientific progress seems to be slowly revealing that all the different physical objects around us are, at root, just a matter of the right parts put together in the right ways: How far could the same be true of minds? This book argues that we are too used to seeing the mind as an indivisible unity and that understanding our place in nature requires being willing to see minds as composite systems, simultaneously one conscious whole and many conscious parts. In thinking through the implications of such a shift of perspective, the book relates the question of mental combination to a range of different theories of the mind (in particular panpsychism, functionalism, and Neo-Lockeanism about personal identity) and identifies, clarifies, and addresses a wide array of philosophical objections (concerning personal identity, the unity of consciousness, the privacy of experience, and other issues) that have been raised against the idea of composite minds. The result is an account of the metaphysics of composition and consciousness that can illuminate many different debates in philosophy of mind, concerning split brains, collective intentionality, and the combination problem, among others.--publisher.

Human beings have thoughts, sensations, and feelings and think that at least some of this mental life is shared with domestic and wild animals. But, are there reduced degrees of mentality found in mosquitoes, bacteria, and even more primitive natural bodies? Panpsychists think so and have defended this belief throughout the history of philosophy, beginning with the ancient Greeks and continuing into the present. In this bold, challenging book, D. S. Clarke outlines reasons for accepting panpsychism and defends the doctrine against its critics. He proposes it as an alternative to the mechanistic materialism and humanism that dominate present-day philosophy.
