An Ontological Solution to the Mind-Body Problem
Kastrup B.
Philosophies ยท 2017
In plain language
Kastrup argues for analytic idealism -- the view that only consciousness is fundamental and matter is an appearance of it -- as a way to avoid both physicalism's hard problem and panpsychism's combination problem. This is a minority position within academic philosophy of mind and should be read as one contested proposal among several, not consensus.
