Property Dualism and the Knowledge Argument: Are Qualia Really a Problem for Physicalism?
Where does the mind fit into the physical world? Not surprisingly, philosophers have offered radically different answers to this question. This paper considers and defends an argument to the effect that our conscious experiences must be something separate from the physical world since one could in principle know all the relevant physical and neuroscientific details without knowing anything abou...
متن کاملSupervenience and Reductive Physicalism
Supervenience physicalism attempts to combine non-reductionism about properties with a physical determination thesis in such a way as to ensure physicalism. I argue that this attempt is unsuccessful: the specific supervenience relation in question is either strong enough to ensure reductionism, as in the case of strong supervenience, or too weak to yield physical determination, as in the case o...
متن کاملPhysicalism, Behaviorism and Incompleteness
The content of this paper contains four parts. (1) First, physicalism gives the enlightenments to behaviorism: mind-body identity, objectivity like physics and completeness of reduction. (2) Secondly, there are difficulties which behaviorist could not overcome—both the reduction of the theory and the terms are unreliable, and the strict distinction between introspective method and inter-subject...
متن کامل5 Physicalism , Chaos and Reductionism
In addition to ignoring the severe practical problems posed by decoherence phenomena, quantum mind hypotheses are motivated by a misunderstanding of the nature of classical (i. e. nonquantum) dynamics. As presently understood, nonlinear dynamical systems – of which the brain is clearly one – exhibit the twin phenomena of chaos and emergence. The first of these impedes reductionist formulations ...
متن کاملProperty Physicalism, Reduction and Realization
Once, a mind-body theory based upon the idea of supervenience seemed to be a promising alternative to the various kinds of reductionistic physicalism. In recent years, however, Jaegwon Kim has subjected his own brainchild to a very thorough criticism. With most of Kim’s arguments I agree wholeheartedly not least because they converge with my own thoughts.2 In order to explain the few points of ...
