Ravenheart@lemmy.zip 1 hour agoThat makes sense in materialist metaphysics, but in recent decades materialism has become increasingly contested in philosophical circles. Philosophers like Bernardo Kastrup, Phillip Goff and David Chalmers being among the most prominent of its critics.

Absolutely! Bernardo Kastrup: Materialism is Boloney Phillip Goff: Galileo’s Error David Chalmers: Facing Up to the Problem of Consciousness(This is his famous essay in which he coined the term “the hard problem of consciousness.”)
I find Bernardo Kastrup’s case for analytic idealism to be the most compelling.
