Glen,
Thank you for writing. I would take the minimum conditions of pan psychism to
be that every object (i.e., every thing to which a noun may be applied) has
interests and acts in accordance with those interests. >From the point of view

That's unfortunate. I'm trying to say that any 1 thing has nothing in common with any other thing.

While I appreciate DaveW's historical ensconcing, I think there's a different
answer to EricS' question. When/if I feel generous to people who talk about the

Great question, and one that may not be answerable directly. There is
definitely a sense of essentialism in some contexts, Shinto for example, and
other forms of animism. In Vedic philosophy I am less sure. The origin myth
states that Mind (purusa) and Matter (prakrti) were once separate and apa
So there are things in DaveW’s very helpful post below about which I am
genuinely curious. My tendency is to analyze them, though I have a certain
habitual fear that asking a question in an analytic mode will come across as
somehow disrespectful, and that is not my intent.
