“Causation” is only part of the answer
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 27 (5):634-635 (2004)
| Abstract | Although Ross & Spurrett (R&S) successfully fend off the threat of Kim's “supervenience argument” by showing that it conflates different notions of causation, their proposal for a dynamic systems answer to the mind-body problem is itself yet another supervenience claim in need of an explanation that justifies it. The same goes for their notion of “multiple supervenience.”. | |||||||||
