Product Details
- From a leading philosopher of the 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. And some even suggest that the mystery is so deep, it will never be solved. Decades have been spent 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 twentieth-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 provided the first step on a new path to the final theory of human consciousness.

Humanism Editorial Review
Galileo's Error by Philip Goff discusses the philosophical problem of how the mind interacts with matter. Goff argues for the theory of panpsychism, which combines the materialist view and rejection of dualism. This book may require some thinking, especially for those not well-versed in philosophy. Some readers found Goff to be a sloppy thinker and critical of his arguments, while others found his writing style accessible and his arguments interesting. The book concludes with a discussion on how panpsychism could lead to "a better world," but without further explanation. Some were disappointed with Goff's sudden polemic against skeptics of AGW, which led them to stop reading.
