Christina Gschwandtner

Christina Gschwandtner is a philosopher known for her work on panpsychism, a view that suggests consciousness is a fundamental aspect of all matter. In her writings, she explores how mind and matter are interconnected, arguing that even seemingly simple entities possess some form of consciousness. This perspective challenges traditional views of consciousness as something unique to humans or complex animals. Gschwandtner emphasizes that understanding consciousness in this broader sense can reshape our views on ethics, existence, and our relationship with the natural world, promoting a more inclusive view of sentience across all forms of life.
