Panpsychism

The Hornswoggle Problem In this paper I will examine “The Hornswoggle Problem” in which Patricia Chruchland makes some strong claims on the argument about consciousness. I agree with Chruchland’s argument on about that Chalmers argument on consciousness isn’t a good argument. my conclusion is that Chalmers makes some valid points which helps make his argument an ok one but not strong enough for it to be a good one. I will show parts of what Chalmers is saying is a valid to his argument and what Chruchland’s find to be insufficient support for these ideas. On the part of her argument that I agree with. Chruchland’s idea that all arguments from ignorance is a bad argument I agree with it. Churchland is saying that even thou we have seen sciences progresses they still haven’t progressed enough to be able to explain consciousness but that doesn’t mean that in the future that sciences won’t be able to explain it as sciences is still in its early stages. so the idea of p explaining s can never happen from the canonical version of the argument in which Chalmers view on consciousness is based on that idea. but if we were to follow that idea of think allot of things happen we would question. for example, Chruchland’s Says if were to object to anything that had to do with the idea of phomhonem about counnnsious they we would question stuff that would sound ignorant from the begin. if we were to question the idea of an unusual sound does that make us ignorant. can I conclude it…

concept of the integrated information theory (IIT) in which various complex components of consciousness ranging from the quantity of conscious experiences to the quality of the conscious experiences can come together to form a picture in the brain which can be computed in a mathematical sense and thus, be explained by neuroscience. Indeed, many people seem to believe neuroscience has the capability to explain the phenomenological component of consciousness by utilizing rudimentary mathematical…

generated by physical occurrences, but it is only a side effect. Moreover, another theory that can be related back to consciousness is Panpsychism. Galen Strawson presents panpsychism as an attempt to look for an alternative perspective on how physical elements connect to create consciousness. Panpsychism recounts that consciousness does not appear from unconscious objects, rather conscious experiences must be incorporated as a concept that operates the world. Essentially, panpsychism indicates…

that you can define a term by its processes. He also believes that we can look at a brain and measure every possible state it can be in and relate them to every conscious state we experience. (d) Panpsychism is the idea that consciousness is universal. In other words, everything has consciousness, no matter how small. The level of consciousness varies from simple to complex. For example, a rabbit would have a more simple level of consciousness compared to a human. Panpsychism raises ethical…
