Top–Down Combination Problems
View through CrossRef
This chapter discusses three forms of the combination problem for Russellian monism: the palette problem, the structural mismatch problem, and the subject irreducibility problem. These are grouped together as “top–down combination problems,” meaning that they start from reflection on the nature of ordinary human consciousness/conscious subjects. Top–down combination problems provide challenges both to panpsychist and to panprotopsychist forms of Russellian monism. Responses to the palette problem and the structural mismatch problem are proposed. The third problem, subject irreducibility, is argued to be the most profound challenge for the Russellian monist, and its resolution is postponed to the next chapter.
