PANPSYCHISM (Gr. 7rav, all; ,writ, soul)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 681 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PANPSYCHISM (Gr. 7rav, all; ,writ, soul) , a philosophical
term
  applied to any theory of nature which recognizes the existence of a psychical
element
  throughout the objective world. In such theories not only animals and plants but even the smallest particles of matter are regarded as having some rudimentary kind of sensation or " soul," which plays the same
part
  in relation to their objective activities or modifications as the soul does in the case of human beings. Such theories are the modern scientific or semi-scientific counterparts of the primitive animism of
savage
  races, and may be compared with the hylozoism of the Greek physicists. In modern times the
chief
  exponents of panpsychist views are
Thomas
  . Carlyle,
Fechner and Paulsen: a similar
idea
  lay at the root of the
physical
  theories of the Stoics.
