Panpsychism has become a highly attractive position in the philosophy of mind. On panpsychism
both the physical and the mental are inseparable and fundamental features of reality.
Panentheism has also become immensely popular in the philo-sophy of religion. Panentheism
strives for a higher reconciliation of an atheistic pantheism on which the universe itself is
causa sui and the ontological dualism of necessarily existing eternal creator and contingent
fi nite creation. Historically and systematically panpsychism and panentheism often went
together as essential parts of an all-embracing metaphysical theory of Being.The present
collection of essays analyses the relation between panpsychism and panentheism and provides
critical re ections on the significance of panpsychistic and panentheistic thinking for recent
debates in philosophy and theology.
