Their most important principles are that right action is what benefits the world and that the underlying outlook for benefiting the world is inclusive care, whereby each person receives equal consideration. The early Mohists are clearly objective-list consequentialists, whereby benefiting the world amounts to promoting the most basic goods. Stephens argues that the later Mohists shift to a preference-satisfaction consequentialism whereby benefiting the world amounts to promoting what happens to please individual people. Stephens argues that while the direct texts are ambiguous between an objective-list interpretation and a preference-satisfaction interpretation, the latter better explains later Mohist engagement with opponents. I argue that the direct texts actually preclude Stephens’ preference-satisfaction interpretation, which moreover has the later Mohists concede an implausible amount to their opponents.","PeriodicalId":51792,"journal":{"name":"British Journal for the History of Philosophy","volume":"40 1","pages":"218 - 230"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139265590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Vitalism and panpsychism in the philosophy of Anne Conway","authors":"Olivia Branscum","doi":"10.1080/09608788.2023.2276719","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/09608788.2023.2276719","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTAnne Conway (1631–1679) is often described as a vitalist. Scholars typically take this to mean that Conway considers life to be ubiquitous throughout the world. While Conway is indeed a vitalist in this sense, I argue that she is also committed to a stronger view: namely, the panpsychist view that mental capacities are ubiquitous and fundamental in creation. Reading Conway as a panpsychist highlights several aspects of her philosophy that deserve further attention, especially her accounts of emanative causation and universal perfectibility. There are also historical benefits to interpreting Conway as a panpsychist. Through its history, ‘vitalism’ has often been used to describe philosophies that draw a sharp line between living and non-living nature; surely, Conway is not a vitalist in this way. Moreover, some of Conway’s contemporaries (for instance, Ralph Cudworth and Henry More) are sometimes regarded as vitalists, but were not panpsychists. It is important to distinguish between Conway’s vitalism and her version of panpsychism and to add a term like ‘panpsychism’ to the interpretive lexicon. Otherwise, we run the risk of undervaluing Conway’s originality within her own context and beyond.KEYWORDS: Anne Conwayseventeenth-century metaphysicspanpsychismvitalism AcknowledgementsThanks to Christia Mercer, Russell Jones, Martin Montminy, Alison Springle, and two anonymous referees for their helpful comments and/or conversation regarding several versions of this paper.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Nicolson (Conway Letters) offered one of the first modern engagements with Conway’s thought. Contributions from Merchant followed (“The Vitalism of Anne Conway”, “The Vitalism of Van Helmont”), but it was only with the appearance of Hutton’s landmark intellectual biography (Anne Conway) that historians of philosophy began to take significant interest in Conway.2 See, for instance, Borcherding (“Loving the Body”, “Nothing Is Simply One Thing”, “A Most Subtle Matter”), Head (Philosophy of Anne Conway, especially Chapters 2 and 7), Hutton (Anne Conway), Lascano (Metaphysics), McRobert (“Conway’s Vitalism”), Merchant (“The Vitalism of Anne Conway”), Rusu (“Exceptional Vitalism”), and White (Legacy). White’s text recognizes the many meanings of ‘vitalism’ throughout the centuries (see especially Chapter 4). Head describes Conway’s vitalism as a view about the ubiquity of life in creation but offers an alternative account of “life” as “the atemporal or successive existence of a unified system” (Head, Philosophy of Anne Conway, 156).3 This gloss is not a technical analysis of the Greek.4 Many more comprehensive introductions to Conway’s philosophy are available. See, e.g. Broad (Women Philosophers), Hutton (Anne Conway), Lascano (Metaphysics), Mercer (“Conway’s Metaphysics of Sympathy”, “Conway’s Response to Cartesianism”), and Mercer and Branscum (“Anne Conway”).5 I know of one other author – A","PeriodicalId":51792,"journal":{"name":"British Journal for the History of Philosophy","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135136977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
