'Suddenly the universe appears in a new and much more revealing
perspective. A splendid introduction to this fascinating idea' Philip
Pullman
From a leading philosopher of mind comes this lucid,
provocative argument that offers a radically new picture of human
consciousness-panpsychism.
Understanding how brains produce consciousness is
one of the great scientific challenges of our age. Some philosophers
argue that consciousness is something "extra," beyond the physical
workings of the brain. Others think that if we persist in our standard
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. Decades have been spent in trying to explain
consciousness from within our 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
underpinnings of modern science and based on the early 20th century work
of Arthur Eddington and Bertrand Russell, Goff makes the case for
panpsychism, a theory which posits that consciousness is not confined 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 taken the first step on a new path toward the final theory of
human consciousness.
