This essay is devoted to contemporary panpsychism, and especially to the concept of panpsychism developed by David Chalmers, the most prominent defender of panpsychism at the moment. In this essay, the author briefly considers the historical reasons that lie behind contemporary panpsychism, and he defines the position that Chalmers calls constitutive Russellian panprotopsychism of type A – the strong form of Chalmers’s panpsychism. The essay emphasizes some crucial points of this position. In the author’s opinion, these points need further and more detailed analyses. The analyses will be given in a sequel to the present paper. What you will find here is only their beginning.
