Panpsychism might interest you.
On the flip side (or maybe not) there's epiphenomenalism and the narrative theory of the self.
Personally I think there's more evidence for the view that consciousness is a post hoc justification for unconscious actions than there is for it's "consciousness all the way down".
- mg 2y agoIs there a difference between panpsychism and the idea that consciousness is just a post hoc justification? To me they seem the same. When you say "3 stones make a trio of stones" you don't mean that a "trio" existed somewhere outside of the stones and now moved into the stones, do you? You just gave a name to this specific formation of a stone, another stone and yet another stone.
