Nonreductive materialism and the problem of causal exclusion
Grazer Philosophische Studien 63 (1):79-88 (2002)
| Abstract | In this paper I examine nonreductive materialism (physicalism). This is a position that Terry Horgan favors in his papers and is probably the most widely accepted position in the philosophy of mind in recent decades. In contrast to this, I will argue that nonreductive materialism is an unstable position and will suggest that we can show this using Horgan's own work on the concept of superdupervenience. | |||||||||
