Abstract

The main problem of panpsychism is the combination problem. As a solution, two types of panpsychism are distinguished: constitutive panpsychism and emergent panpsychism. But this distinction operates on the distinction between grounding and causality. However, there will be reasons to consider that causality and grounding are not different. So, the distinction between panpsychisms collapses. Enabling the postulation of a new kind of panpsychism: the building panpsychism. Also, a first outline of solution for the combination problem from the point of view of building panpsychism will be drawn up.
