David F. Skrbina is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Michigan at Dearborn.
As a natural scientist, I find a suitably modified version of
panpsychism to be the single most elegant and parsimonious
explanation of the universe I find myself in. But that is a
different story. Skrbina's volume gives a great introduction to
this doctrine and its reception in the West, from ancient times
until today.—Christof Koch, President and Chief Scientific Officer
of the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, author of
Consciousness: Confessions of a Romantic Reductionist
This rollicking history tour is detailed and complete enough both
to school philosophers of mind and to provoke historians of
philosophy of mind. In assembling many historical and contemporary
arguments, it also sets the agenda for contemporary friends and
foes of panpsychism.—Eric Lormand, Department of Philosophy,
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
