Noun

pansensism (uncountable)

  1. (in the history of philosophy) The closely allied forms of panpsychism espoused by the Italian Renaissance philosophers Bernardino Telesio (1509–1588) and Tommaso Campanella (1568–1639), in which all things are capable of perception or sensation.
    • 1956, Franciscan Studies XVI, page 58
      A clarification is needed at this point concerning Campanella’s doctrine of universal sensation or pansensism, which has a close relationship to his doctrine of self-consciousness.
