- William G. Lycan (forthcoming). Is Property Dualism Better Off Than Substance Dualism? Philosophical Studies:-.Abstract It is widely thought that mind–body substance dualism is implausible at best, though mere “property” dualism is defensible and even flourishing. This paper argues that substance dualism is no less plausible than property dualism and even has two advantages over it.

Lycan, Department of Philosophy, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3125, USA Journal Philosophical Studies Online ISSN 1573-0883 Print ISSN 0031-8116.

As we enter the new millennium, it has become more important to review and discover ancient wisdom. The project to build a harmonious society requires us to know our own "culture."

It is commonly agreed that the well-known Lucas-Penrose arguments and even Penrose's 'new argument' in [Penrose, R. (1994): Shadows of the Mind, Oxford University Press] are inconclusive.

I defend the permissibility of paid surrogacy arrangements against the arguments Sara Ketchum advances in "Selling Babies and Selling Bodies."

In this second of two essays responding to critical discussion of my "Divine Hiddenness and Human Reason," I show how an 'accommodationist' strategy can be used to defuse objections that were not exposed as irrelevant by the first essay. This strategy involves showing that the dominant concern of reasons for divine withdrawal can be met
In several recent issues of this journal, I argued for an account of property possession as strict, numerical identity. While this account has stuck some as being highly idiosyncratic in nature, it is not entirely something new under the sun, since as I will argue in this paper, it turns out to have a historic precedentPlato in Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy
