Philosophy of Mind. I'm becoming especially partial to the process philosophy point of view. Mild obsession with relationship between traditional animist views and modern panpsychist views.

Ooh, this is a really unique answer! What's the difference? I thought animist and panpsychist were (rough!) synonyms.

Animism is a set of cultural practices that seems to be utterly ubiquitous in human societies around the world, only going extinct relatively recently in the West (post-Christianization). Panpsychism is a modern philosophy idea that has a lot of overlap with animism.

That sounds interesting! Have any recommended jumping-off points to the subjects? I'd love to learn about them!

So maybe the best initial entry is, well, experiential. Do you have any 5-8 year old kids you can hangout with in non-creepy ways? Kids are natural animists. They'll teach you everything you need to know about it.
