David Skrbina’s Panpsychism in the West provided the first comprehensive examination of the historical development and contemporary manifestations of panpsychism within Western philosophy when originally released in 2005. Skrbina traces the roots of panpsychist thought from ancient Greece through the modern era, exploring how various philosophers have grappled with the idea that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe. By analyzing key thinkers and their contributions to panpsychist thought, the book offers a thorough understanding of this philosophical perspective and its significance in Western intellectual history.
