Abstract: Cosmopsychism is the conjunction of the following two theses: (i) the cosmos is the one fundamental object, (ii) the cosmos if conscious. I will try out the following argument for this view: Premise 1 \u2013 Each and every organic conscious state is irreducible. Premise 2 \u2013 No organic conscious state is fundamental. Premise 3 \u2013 The only way in which a state can be both irreducible and fundamental is if it is an aspect of a more fundamental state. Conclusion 1 \u2013 Therefore each and every organic conscious state is an aspect of a more fundamental state. Premise 4 \u2013 If each and every organic conscious state is an aspect of a more fundamental state, then cosmopsychism is highly likely to be true. Conclusion 2 \u2013 Therefore, cosmopsychism is highly likely to be true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Philip Goff (University of Liverpool) speaks at the event \u201cMetaphysics of Mind\u201d, 19th August 2014.
