I don't think I'd call Spinoza a panpsychist; my hunch is that something like Evan Thompson's bio-psychism is closer in spirit to Spinoza ("Unaqueque res, quantum in se est, in suo esse perseverare conatur" and all that). But I've never felt the pull of panpsychism either!

@JohnProtevi calls Evan's view "biological panpsychism". But then the big problem with Mind In Life is that there's now an explanatory gulf between physics and biology. Better to just have dynamical processes all the way up and all the way down. That's pretty Spinozistic, right?1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
Yes, dynamical all the way up/down, that's where Mind in Life concludes (last sentence). Not biopanpsychism, neutral monism with dynamically emergent orders of individuality. I see Spinoza as a neutral monist, not panpsychist.
