A new metaphysical framework called Nondual Panpsychism is proposed, which engages with Indian philosophy and claims that reality is neither plural, dual, nor One. It argues that everything is a cognitive system, not that everything is conscious. Cognition is defined as an entity's choice of action among perceived alternatives, implying all entities have agency. The article argues against phenomenal consciousness and the hard problem, refiguring consciousness as cognitive. It hyperextends the extended mind to include social groups and the universe as cognitive systems, addressing combination and decombination problems. The framework is shown to be compatible with Kaśmir Śaivism's pratyabhijñā system and contrasted with Advaita Vedānta.
Nondual Panpsychism is a metaphysical view that everything is a cognitive system and reality is neither one nor two. The article develops its panentheistic implications, explaining how finite cognitive systems emerge from a cosmic cognitive system. It rejects Sri Ramakrishna's hard theological determinism and instead endorses the theological libertarianism of Pratyabhijñā Śaivism and Swami Vivekananda. While māyā is central to Vivekananda's panentheism, the article argues he cannot account for it. God's essence is to manifest, making the cosmos real. God transcends the cosmos by not being determined by it, pervades it by creatively responding, and manifests as the despised and rejected, explaining why God does not laugh at some jokes.
