So Schopenhauer questions our mind's picture, claiming to have no reason to believe that the picture is valid outside of it. Then Schopenhauer goes ab...
If by "panpsychist", you mean that I believe everything from atoms to the universe is conscious, then no. I think we should clarify the distinctions b...
I don't know. What does it mean for something to be material as opposed to information? Why not just say the mind is made of matter? If you only know ...
