'Panpsychism is one of the most promising ways to understand the place of mind in the cosmos. Mind did not mysteriously emerge from matter: Mind has always been there, it is located at the very origin of things. Consciousness is a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of the cosmos. Wager argues that the cosmos as a whole is the only fundamental concrete object. The consciousness of the cosmos is prior to smaller sub-cosmic consciousnesses. This ""priority monistic cosmopsychism"" is different from most versions of panpsychism discussed in the literature. But the book achieves much more than presenting a promising new theory. Wager covers the entire logical space of different forms of panpsychism in a concise and remarkably clear presentation. The reader will find this quite useful. It might well be the best synopsis of the varieties of panpsychism available today.' -- Godehard Brüntrup * Professor of Metaphysics and Philosophy, Munich School of Philosophy USA. *
