Anomalous Monism: Oscillating between Dogmas
Davidson’s anomalous monism, his argument for the identity between mental and physical event tokens, has been frequently attacked, usually demanding a higher degree of physicalist commitment.

The central question is “whether mental phenomena are physical phenomena, and if not, how they relate to physical phenomena.” Over the centuries, a wide range of possible solutions to this problem have emerged. These are the various “isms” familiar to any student of the deba...
