In the Memory and oblivion: Tommaso Campanella on natural sentience. history of western philosophy, Tommaso Campanella is the passionate advocate of universal sentience. Everything in his cosmos, from stones to angels, is sentient. How- ever, Campanella argues that sentience can be legitimately presented as a universal at- tribute of being only if we assume the ubiquitous presence of an unconscious percep- tion in nature (sensus naturalis) and, above all, only if we assume that this uncon- scious perception performs the fundamental function of mediating between conscious- ness and life in all kinds of natural processes. The article argues that Campanella’s original take on animism is predicated on a view that glorifies the blissful uncon- sciousness of life.
Keywords: Tommaso Campanella, sentience, consciousness, nature, primalitates.
