Conservation of energy is relevant to physicalism
Dialectica 61 (4):573–582 (2007)
| Abstract | I argue against Montero’s claim that Conservation of Energy (CoE) has nothing to do with Physicalism. I reject her reconstruction of the argument from CoE against interactionist dualism, and offer instead an alternative reconstruction that better captures the intuitions of those who believe that there is a conflict between interactionist dualism and CoE | |||||||||
