Abstract

This paper critiques the reductionist approach of contemporary physicalism. Drawing on the philosophies of Schelling and Whitehead, it argues for a panexperientialist view where feeling is central to understanding physical reality. The paper examines the Kantian roots of the modern bifurcation of nature and proposes an “organic realism” that integrates mind and matter. It introduces Whitehead’s conceptual framework to recontextualize the onto-epistemic status of scientific models in terms of what he referred to as propositional feelings. The paper concludes that a comprehensive cosmology must account for both physical phenomena and human consciousness, advocating for a more integral approach to natural science that acknowledges the primacy of feeling in making sense of the universe.
