Priority Cosmopsychism and the Advaita Vedānta
Philosophy East & West July 7, 2017 L. Gasparri 38 citations
Priority cosmopsychism, which holds that individual consciousness derives from a universal cosmic consciousness, has been compared to ideas in Advaita Vedānta. This article critically evaluates that comparison, arguing that the Advaitic account of consciousness does not fit the priority cosmopsychism model. It highlights key differences between the two views and proposes an alternative way to position Advaita Vedānta within current philosophical debates on monism and panpsychism.
