| Summary: | Roelof's monograph is the first sustained, book-length defense of "constitutive panpsychism," an increasingly prominent theory of consciousness that argues that consciousness is a general feature inherent in matter. Constitutive panpsychism holds that the consciousness of humans and other complex beings are constituted out of this basic consciousness in the same way that human bodies are constituted out of physical matter. Roelofs defends this view against the 'combination problem', which is widely recognised as the most serious objection to it. |
