Thanks for this column. I’ll look forward to reading Eric Hoel’s book.
As an enthusiastic but thoroughly amateur reader of the various theories of consciousness, if you have more recommendations for further reading I’d be eager to hear them. I can’t help but think (okay, hope, really) that Giulio Tononi’s IIT work, Phillip Goff’s work in panpsychism and even that of the staunch physicalist Sean Carroll (among others) will drift together into a new, more comprehensive theory over time.

SO HAPPY you found your way here!!! I have a bunch of recomendations at the bottom of this 3QD post https://3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2019/04/do-octopuses-have-souls-on-the-nature-of-animal-consciousness.html but I think my two favorites are Koch's memoir (above post) and this one by Solms (Intuitively I just "like" Solms' theory) https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3908865016--also love Hoel's Substack.
