Abstract
This book is an interesting and energetic exploration of Russellian monism, a position in philosophy of mind
that has gained considerable attention in recent years because it promises to move us beyond the
physicalist-dualist stand-off. In the first part, Goff presents a critique of physicalism; in the second, he
discusses the pros and cons of different versions of Russellian monism. Ultimately, he recommends a version
he calls 'cosmopsychism', the bracing idea that the universe itself instantiates a form of consciousness.
