"Should a Russellian be a Panpsychist?
<http://guidetoreality.blogspot.com/2008/05/should-russellian-be-panpsychist.html>
Emmett Holman <http://philosophy.gmu.edu/E_Holman.htm> has an
interesting article
<http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/imp/jcs/2008/00000015/00000005/art00002>
in the latest /Journal of Consciousness Studies/
<http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/imp/jcs/2008/00000015/00000005>
that's also very timely in light of the discussion in the prior post.
Surveying several approaches to a Russellian theory of mind (RTM, to use
his abbreviation), Holman observes that most have been panpsychist, but
at least one is presented as a version of physicalism, and some are
neutral monist interpretations. Holman takes a look at the landscape to
see what the advantages of competing approaches might be. He doesn't
come to a strong conclusion, but thinks that it's not clear that a
panpsychist approach should be preferred...."
Onward!
Stephen
