ARTICLE>Scientific American "Does Consciousness Pervade the Universe? Philosopher Philip Goff answers questions about “panpsychism”"
by A. Charles Muller
" One of science’s most challenging problems is a question that can be
stated easily: Where does consciousness come from? In his new book Galileo’s Error: Foundations for a New Science of Consciousness,
philosopher Philip
Goff considers a radical perspective: What if consciousness is not
something special that the brain does but is instead a quality inherent to all
matter? It is a theory known as “panpsychism,” and Goff guides readers through
the history of the idea, answers common objections (such as “That’s just
crazy!”) and explains why he believes panpsychism represents the best path
forward. He answered questions from Mind
Matters editor Gareth Cook.

Of course, Buddhist "Consciousness-only" is somewhat different from this, but it might be useful as an opener in a class on philosophy of mind.
