A Coherent Illusionism? Adding Cosmopsychism

Quote:In this post, I want to combine two things that I recently wrote about:
Is it possible to somehow combine illusionism and cosmopsychism, such that each of the two views can help make the other more coherent?
- I wrote that one of the challenges facing illusionist views of consciousness is the experiencer problem: if phenomenal consciousness is an illusion, who or what is experiencing the illusion?
- I briefly wrote about forms of panpsychism, including bottom-up panpsychism (or micropsychism, which has the combination problem) and top-down panpsychism (or cosmopsychism, which has the decombination problem).
