 According to Jerry Fodor, “the form of a philosophical theory, often enough, is: Let’s try looking over here” (Fodor 1981: 31). The current revival of interest in neutral monism is, perhaps, best seen as part of the general movement to explore all possible options in the metaphysics of consciousness—a movement that is driven by the sense that the traditional positions face insurmountable obstacles. David Chalmers’s paper “Panpsychism and Panprotopsychism” (Chalmers 2015) provides an illuminating account of the dialectic that drives some contemporary philosophers to explore the little known neutral monistic territory.
