초록
This essay aims to compare Lawrence’s thoughts on the vitality of nonhuman beings with modern panpsychism, as articulated by Thomas Nagel, Galen Strawson, and partly, Christof Koch. These scholars, instead of asserting that rocks or lakes are conscious, maintain that the basic constituents of all matter have experiences irreducible to physical properties. In doing so, they are diametrically opposed to eliminative materialism. Lawrence arguably has ‘panpsychist moments’ in claiming that being is the clue to existence, or that life is the clue to the universe, and in attributing a non-cerebral consciousness (‘sap-consciousness’) to a plant or an invertebrate. Birkin’s dendrophilia in “Breadalby,” Women in Love, suggests another such moment. However, Lawrence’s discourse on the primacy of living individuals over Matter, and on the rebirth of souls, does not seem to go very well with modern panpsychism, while his continued exaltation of physical touch rendering a “transfer” of vitality, illustrated by the very episode from “Breadalby,” goes significantly beyond the typical panpsychist problematic.
Abstract
This essay aims to compare Lawrence’s thoughts on the vitality of nonhuman beings with modern panpsychism, as articulated by Thomas Nagel, Galen Strawson, and partly, Christof Koch. These scholars, instead of asserting that rocks or lakes are conscious, maintain that the basic constituents of all matter have experiences irreducible to physical properties. In doing so, they are diametrically opposed to eliminative materialism. Lawrence arguably has ‘panpsychist moments’ in claiming that being is the clue to existence, or that life is the clue to the universe, and in attributing a non-cerebral consciousness (‘sap-consciousness’) to a plant or an invertebrate. Birkin’s dendrophilia in “Breadalby,” Women in Love, suggests another such moment. However, Lawrence’s discourse on the primacy of living individuals over Matter, and on the rebirth of souls, does not seem to go very well with modern panpsychism, while his continued exaltation of physical touch rendering a “transfer” of vitality, illustrated by the very episode from “Breadalby,” goes significantly beyond the typical panpsychist problematic.
