Pansychists often qualify panpsychism so that only true individuals are animated: i.e., so that things like atoms, molecules, and organisms are animated as atoms, molecules, and organisms, whereas things like rocks, tables, and boots are not animated as themselves, although they do comprise animate elements (e.g., molecules).
