It’s funny how panpsychists always want proof for a materialist view of consciousness when there’s zero for panpsychism — GLEN willows
On the contrary the hard problem of consciousness lies between the two opinions as to what consciousness is. So the zero proof of the wholly panpsychic is the same zero proof of the wholly materialist. — Benj96

I don't accept that philosophers [propose] "theories", just interpretations of theories or thought-experiments in order to provoke conjectures about the world. A "materialist theory" makes no sense to me. Today we have eliminative materialists and physicalists: the latter denotes conceptual dependence of a physical (neurological) substrate and the former only a principle of filtering-out folk concepts from conjectures about "consciousness" or mind. Neither are "theories" as far as I can tell. — 180 Proof
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
