Cracking the "hard problem" in philosophy of mind---how consciousness is related to the physical world---will require a radical revision of ontology and epistemology. Success in solving the philosophical "mind-body problem" will depend on how well ontology naturalizes the mind while recognizing its irreducibility to matter. Success in developing a true science of consciousness will depend on how well epistemology integrates first-person subjectivity and second-person intersubjectivity with third-person objectivity. In both cases---ontology and epistemology---success will mean recognizing the primacy of process and intersubjective feeling.

520 $a Cracking the "hard problem" in philosophy of mind---how consciousness is related to the physical world---will require a radical revision of ontology and epistemology. Success in solving the philosophical "mind-body problem" will depend on how well ontology naturalizes the mind while recognizing its irreducibility to matter. Success in developing a true science of consciousness will depend on how well epistemology integrates first-person subjectivity and second-person intersubjectivity with third-person objectivity. In both cases---ontology and epistemology---success will mean recognizing the primacy of process and intersubjective feeling.
520 $a Ontology and epistemology are inseparable. To investigate and understand the nature of reality---specifically, the relation between mind and matter, subject and object---requires a radical revision of the metaphysical assumptions underlying the dominant worldview in contemporary philosophy and science, and a radical revision in our ways of knowing.
520 $a The "mind-body problem" has been a perennial challenge in philosophy for hundreds of years, and is the key problem in contemporary philosophy of mind. Nearly two-hundred years ago, Schopenhauer called it the "world-knot," and recently David Chalmers called it the "hard problem." Various solutions have been proposed, the most dominant being: dualism, materialism, and idealism. Each of these "solutions" fails because of its own peculiar logical flaw.
520 $a In dualism, it is the problem of interaction; in materialism, it is the problem of emergence; in idealism, it is the problem of emanation (and/or the pragmatic problem of performative contradiction). Two other solutions have been offered: neutral monism and panpsychism. Neutral monism is problematic because it merely disguises the original "knot" by burying it. On examination, this position turns out to be either a form of panpsychism or to suffer from one or more of the problems of interaction, emergence, and emanation.
520 $a According to this work, the most coherent solution to the mind-body problem is to be found in a version of panpsychism---called here "radical naturalism"---which asserts that both matter and consciousness "go all the way down" and are mutually co-creative. In short, matter itself is intrinsically sentient. The central claim of this thesis is that it is inconceivable that subjectivity (sentience, mind, or consciousness) could ever emerge or evolve from wholly objective, insentient matter-energy (or that real matter energy could ever emanate or devolve from pure spirit or consciousness).
