Description

The current trends in quantum physics, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence all point towards a startling likelihood of universal mechanics: that as Max Planck himself said, consciousness is co-fundamental with matter itself - that the universe is indeed an entity imbued with consciousness (though not necessarily self-aware as a whole). In this position paper, I provide a metasynthesis of modern texts on this interdisciplinary topic, and suggest that the results not only back the millennia-old philosophy of panpsychism, but also a more ancient one: that of the cosmological Vedanta philosophy of India.
