An updated edition of a comprehensive study of the theory that mind exists, in some form, in all living and nonliving things.In Panpsychism in the West, the first comprehensive study of the subject, David Skrbina argues for the importance of panpsychismthe theory that mind exists, in some form, in all living and nonliving thingsin consideration of the nature of consciousness and mind. Panpsychism, with its conception of mind as a general phenomenon of nature, uniquely links being and mind. More than a theory of mind, it is a metatheorya statement about theories of mind rather than a theory in itself. Panpsychism can parallel almost every current theory of mind; it simply holds that, no matter how one conceives of mind, such mind applies to all things. After a brief discussion of general issues surrounding philosophy of mind, Skrbina examines the panpsychist views of philosophers from the preSocratics to the poststructuralists.The original edition of Panpsychism in the West helped to reinvigorate a neglected and important aspect of philosophic thinking. This revised edition offers expanded and updated material that reflects the growth of panpsychism as a subdiscipline. It covers the problem of emergence of mind from a nonmental reality and the combination problem in greater detail. It offers expanded coverage of the preSocratics and Plato; a new section on Augustine; expanded discussions of Continental panpsychism, scientific arguments, Nietzsche, and Whitehead; and a new section on Russellian monism. With this edition, Panpsychism in the West will be continue to be the standard work on the topic.
