The Causal Closure Argument is No Threat to Non-Reductive Physicalism
Non-reductive physicalism is the view that mental events cause other events in virtue of their mental properties and that mental properties supervene on, without being identical to, physical…
Horizontal and vertical determination of mental and neural states
Mental and neural states are related to one another by vertical (synchronic) interlevel relations and by horizontal (diachronic) intralevel relations. For particular choices of such relations,…
