The article explores panpsychism, the idea that mind is fundamental and permeates existence, and critiques its validity. It raises dilemmas regarding whether mind is elemental or emerges from non-mental entities, both leading to unresolved questions. The discussion incorporates George Berkeley's philosophical musings on existence, emphasizing that consciousness is crucial for understanding reality. It challenges common perspectives, such as Stephen Hawking's view on human insignificance, proposing that rather than panpsychism, consciousness underlies all existence, making it essential rather than peripheral to understanding reality.
Panpsychism, while an intriguing view that suggests mind is fundamental to existence, ultimately leads to inconsistencies that challenge its validity in our understanding of reality.
George Berkeley’s inquiry into the existence of unperceived objects illustrates a key argument against panpsychism, suggesting that consciousness is essential for defining existence.
