    How do conscious states arise? There are three options: “1) They don’t. Humans are not conscious. 2) A miracle happens. A conscious state ‘emerges’ from non-conscious matter. 3) They don’t. Consciousness already exists within the matter our brains are made from.” -

    “Consciousness, however small, is an illegitimate birth in any philosophy that starts without it, and yet professes to explain all facts by continuous evolution. If evolution is to work smoothly, consciousness must have been present at the very origin of things.” - William James

    Since this article comes with the obligatory new-agey graphic, I feel compelled to add this quote from the same piece: “The ‘new wave’ of panpsychism lacks the mystical connotations of previous forms of the view. There is only matter – nothing spiritual or supernatural.”

    “Matter can be described from two perspectives. Physical science describes matter ‘from the outside’, in terms of its behaviour, but matter ‘from the inside’ is constituted of forms of consciousness.” -

    “The problem of the ultimate nature of matter is inextricably linked to the problem of consciousness. [This thesis] is one of Whitehead’s core insights. He took the next step of embracing a panpsychist conception of matter.” - William Seager, on Whitehead

    “[We] infer sentience rather than verify it ... some might stop sentience at the lobster limit, others might stop at the beetle border – but why stop at all? If one demands a stop, the determining criterion must be established.” -

    “The idea of emergence is an attractive, and initially appealing, one in many ways, and it is not difficult to understand its popularity. But it is not easy to make the idea precise and give it substantive content.” - Jaegwon Kim

    “Emergence of mind from no mind at all is sheer magic ... mind must already have been there when life arose and indeed must be a universal aspect of existence.” - Sewall Wright, founder of population genetics

    “Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?” - Stephen Hawking, on the silence of physics

    “Mind, I suspect, is not an inexplicable accident or a divine and anomalous gift but a basic aspect of nature that we will not understand until we transcend the built-in limits of contemporary scientific orthodoxy.” - Thomas Nagel

    “There will remain a certain sphere which will be outside physics ... It is obvious that a man who can see knows things which a blind man cannot know; but a blind man can know the whole of physics.” - Bertrand Russell

    “Scientific support for a theory comes not merely from the fact that it explains the evidence, but from the fact that it is the best explanation of the evidence ... a theory is ‘better’ to the extent that it is more simple, elegant and parsimonious than its rivals.” -

    What do eliminative materialists like Daniel Dennett have in common with Descartes? “They share,” says Galen Strawson, “one very large assumption: that we know enough about the physical to be certain that experience can’t be physical.”
