In philosophy , panpsychism is the view that all matter has a mental aspect, or, alternatively, all objects have a unified center of experience or point of view. Baruch Spinoza , Gottfried Leibniz , Gustav Theodor Fechner , Friedrich Paulsen , Ernst Haeckel , Charles Strong , and partially William James are considered panpsychists. Panexperientialism , as espoused by Alfred North Whitehead , is a less bold variation, which credits all entities with phenomenal consciousness but not with cognition , and therefore not necessarily with full-fledged minds.

8-Circuit Model of Consciousness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Consciousness

Damasio defines consciousness as “the sense of self in the act of knowing . . . a narrative without words” (Damasio, 2000, p. 168) , with characters – the organism (us) and the object (everything we encounter) – unfolding in time. He describes ‘simple’ and complex kinds of consciousness differentiating between ‘core consciousness’ and ‘extended consciousness’. Core consciousness (the ‘here and now’ consciousness), he says, generates an imaged, nonverbal account of the organism’s own state as affected by the ‘object’ in a spatial and temporal context and a sense-of-self (in the act of knowing).
