On the supposed limits of physicalist theories of mind
Philosophical Studies 155 (2):207-225 (2011)
Abstract
Is physicalism compatible with either panpsychism or so-called fundamental mentality ? Minimal physicalism, I contend, is compatible with both. We should therefore jettison the No Fundamental Mentality constraint, a proposed constraint on the definition of the physical, not to mention the false limits it places on physicalist theories of mind.Author's Profile
