Philip Goff is a philosopher who critically examines the scope and limitations of modern science, arguing that it intentionally excludes the mind [1] and fails to explain the underlying nature of matter [2]. He advocates for a 'post-Galilean' approach to science [3] and draws parallels between panpsychism and established scientific theories like relativity and quantum mechanics [4].

perspectivePhilip Goff and other proponents of panpsychism advocate for a 'post-Galilean' science that incorporates first-person data as fundamental, rather than restricting science solely to third-person data.
claimContemporary panpsychists, such as Philip Goff, argue that while modern science excels at modeling the mathematical relationships and behavior of matter, it fails to explain why matter behaves in that way or what underlies those patterns.
perspectiveGalen Strawson and Philip Goff argue that the seeming strangeness of panpsychism is not a decisive strike against it, noting that science has previously accepted counterintuitive ideas like relativity and quantum mechanics.
referenceIn his book 'Galileo's Error' (2019), Philip Goff argues that modern science achieved its power by intentionally excluding the mind from its domain.
