Abstract

Philip Goff’s book is an entry in the field of broadly defined philosophy of mind, as well as in the philosophy and methodology of natural sciences. It combines quite skillfully a popular scientific style with a more systematic scientific analysis. In addition to its central topic, which is the question of panpsychism, we find references to well-known thought experiments in the philosophy of consciousness. Despite numerous criticisms the book is a relative valuable addition to the existing literature, broadening the horizon of the ontological disputes about panpsychism in the context of natural science (physiology of higher nervous activity, neuroscience, quantum mechanics).
