Philip Goff

Philip Goff is a philosopher known for advocating panpsychism, the idea that consciousness is a fundamental feature of the universe and exists in varying degrees in all things, not just humans or animals. He suggests that even basic particles might possess simple forms of consciousness. Goff argues this perspective helps address the "hard problem" of consciousness—explaining how subjective experiences arise from physical processes. By proposing that consciousness is everywhere, he aims to bridge the gap between our understanding of mind and matter, offering a fresh lens to explore existence and awareness in the universe.
