PanPsychism
ThoughtStorms Wiki
Context: OnConsciousness
The position that everything is "conscious" to some extent.
The attraction, as I see it, (and I feel the strength of this argument), is that if everything has a little bit of consciousness, you don't have to try to solve the knotty problem of figuring out which physical systems give rise to consciousness vs. those that don't. Or the even harder problem of explaining WHY some physical systems should and others shouldn't.
