Surely something like Occam’s razor comes in here. If we can explain consciousness in terms of our current science then why would we try to change our current science to include a mind-like quality as a fundamental property of matter? Make not sense to me.
If we can explain consciousness in terms of our current science
First of all, panexperientialism and its variations seek to explain subjective experience, not consciousness. Moreover, we in fact can’t explain consciousness. “Consciousness is an emergent property” is hardly a satisfactory explanation.
