Mind that Abides; Editorial page; Title page; LCC data; Table of contents; Contributors; Acknowledgements and dedication; Introduction; Panpsychism in history; Analysis and science; Realistic monism; Halting the descent into panpsychism*; Mind under matter; The conscious connection; Can the panpsychist get around the combination problem?; Universal correlates of consciousness; Panpsychism, the Big-Bang-Argument, and the dignity of life; Process philosophy; Back to Whitehead?; Does process externalism support panpsychism?; The dynamics of possession*; Finite eventism; Metaphysics and mind.

Summary: Panpsychism is the view that all things, living and nonliving, possess some mind like quality. It stands in sharp contrast to the traditional notion of mind as the property of humans and (perhaps) a few select 'higher animals'. Though surprising at first glance, panpsychism has a long and noble history in both Western and Eastern thought. Overlooked by analytical, materialist philosophy for most of the 20th century, it is now experiencing a renaissance of sorts in several areas of inquiry. A number of recent books - including Skrbina's Panpsychism in the West (2005) and Strawson et al's Consci.
