‘Suddenly, the universe appears from a new and much more revealing perspective. A wonderful introduction to this exciting idea.' - Philip Pullman
This clear, provocative reasoning comes from a leading philosopher of mind and offers a radically new picture of human consciousness—panpsychism.
Understanding how brains produce consciousness is one of the great scientific challenges of our time. Some philosophers argue that consciousness is something "extra," beyond the brain's physical functions. Others believe that if we stick to our typical scientific methods, our questions about consciousness will eventually be answered. Some even suggest that the mystery is so deep that it will never be solved.
Years have gone by trying to explain consciousness within the current scientific paradigm, but little progress has been made. Now, Philip Goff offers an exciting alternative that could pave the way forward. Rooted in an analysis of the philosophical foundations of modern science and based on the work of Arthur Eddington and Bertrand Russell in the early 20th century, Goff advocates for panpsychism, a theory that asserts that consciousness is not limited to biological entities but is a fundamental feature of all physical matter—from subatomic particles to the human brain.
In 'Galileo's Error', he has made the first step down a new path toward a final theory of human consciousness.
