Description
The mind-body problem has been a central challenge for philosophers since Descartes. Realists have grappled with dualism and materialism to understand how mind and body relate, but a new approach is needed to resolve the core issue of the Cartesian view of matter. David Ray Griffin develops a third form of realism that resolves this problem by proposing a panexperientialist physicalism grounded in Alfred North Whitehead's process philosophy. This approach takes experience and spontaneity as fully natural, providing a naturalistic account of consciousness emergence that also acknowledges human freedom.
