Panpsychism

[Saint Guinefort]

Clear indications of panpsychist doctrines are evident in early Greek thought. One of the first Presocratic philosophers of ancient Greece, Thales (c. 624–545 BCE) deployed an analogical argument for the attribution of mind that tends towards panpsychism. The argument depends upon the idea that enminded beings are self-movers. Thales notes that magnets and, under certain circumstances, amber, can move themselves and concludes that they therefore possess minds. It is claimed that Thales went much beyond such particular attributions and endorsed a true panpsychism and pantheism. For example, as reported by Barnes (1982: 96–7), Diogenes claimed that Thales believed that “the universe is alive and full of spirits”, but this remark is derived from an earlier claim of Aristotle: “some say a soul is mingled in the whole universe—which is perhaps why Thales thought that everything is full of gods”. While Barnes disputes the pantheistic reading of Thales, he allows that Thales believed in the “ubiquity of animation”

I wholeheartedly disagree. I have been on the internet for many years and not once have I come across that view. It is absurd in the extreme. Even Aristotle didn't think that. In my MANY readings of the Bhagavad Gita I found that 6398 is far more appropriate. Not to mention that Lao Tsu always said "Chew your food 32 times!"

That's more like it. And it comports with what I assume is your world view.

Thanks! It's great to have a discussion with a learned person like you.

Oh you so want me to ban you. I was only joking, tool. I won't ban you. You are TOO MUCH FUN to watch.

I used to think that my golf ball had an element of individual consciousness when I hit it properly and it still went
somewhere that it wasn't intended to go.

Afterwards, a couple of drinks in the clubhouse returned me to the reality that panpsychism is probably not a thing.

Well, in my MANY readings of the Tao Te Ching I found that golfballs were often specifically avoided as a topic of conversation. In fact in my MASSIVE library (I will post some more pictures later on) I have found a dearth of information about the mental state of a golf ball. But I bet it relates to QUANTUM MECHANICS.
