I'm reading @evantthompson's classic "Mind in Life" and realizing that Husserl's shift from static to genetic phenomenology resonates strongly with Whitehead's account of primordial experience in terms of prehensionality.

btw, Evan, the more I get up to speed with how analytic philosophers of mind are defining panpsychism (usually the "constitutive" variety), the less I like it! Whitehead's process-relational approach is as different from substance-property panpsychism as it is from materialism.

these analytic panpsychists generally take a naturalistic attitude toward the world, so even though they push "phenomenal properties" all the way down they do so in a naive & reductive way. Seems to me the best panpsychism would need to come after a robust phenomenological stance

Yes! It’s a wonderful study showing how Merleau-Ponty’s late thought ends up bringing embodied phenomenology very close to Whitehead and Schelling’s nature philosophies.

Yes! Such a good book. Here's how I put it in a review I wrote a while back: https://www.academia.edu/25441829/William_S._Hamrick_and_Jan_Van_der_Veken._Nature_and_Logos_A_Whiteheadian_Key_to_Merleau-Ponty_s_Fundamental_Thought._Albany_SUNY_Press_2011._261_pp._PB_26.95._ISBN_978-1438436166 …pic.twitter.com/0NJitGWKx5

The challenge is to integrate all this with Sri Aurobindo's philosophy. The Mother's experiments in Cellular consciousness are also important inputs. Thanks. – at Shipra Reviera Apartments
