Integrating Panpsychism - Understanding Philip Goff
Channel: Crazy Canadia
Date: 2022-04-02

An #IntegrallyInformed take on Panpsychism. This philosophy is presented by Philip Goff. Today we show the limitations of Philip Goff's Panpsychism by understanding it in terms of our Integral map.

Basic summary:
Goff is able to define the world into Subjective and Objective. He is not able to further sub-divide either. He does explain there are levels of complexity but is unable to say anything about them. He additionally claims that everything is consciousness. At no point does Goff, from his philosophy, provide any greater insight into any domain of humanity. He provides no tangible outcomes, recommendations, nor testable hypotheses.

He does make some moral claims but yet expresses that he DOES NOT know how to ground his judgements. This is only because he does not have a good enough map. 

With an Integral Map we are able to see and understand what Goff is expressing better than he is able to express it. Many questions go unanswered in the original interview, however, an Integral perspective could have answered the same questions with much more satisfaction and productive conversation.
