Although I aver that Cartesian dualism is one culprit for the misapprehension of the genuine treatment of patients in terms of both mind and body, I argue that interactive dualism which stresses the interaction of mind and body is essential to treat patien...

What is common to dualists is the view that some mental properties are properties no entirely physical thing could have. According to a substance dualist, certain mental properties that people have are properties that nothing that had any physical properties could have. Thus there are two different sorts of thing that do not overlap: things that have mental properties, and physical things. A pr...

In present paper, I argue modal false. do so via an argument differs from most previous arguments against in it does not rely on controversial semantic or epistemological assumptions like descriptivism, internalism rationalism. The point my is, instead, internally inconsistent because r...

From the perspective of nonlinear science, it is argued that one may accept physicalism and reject substance dualism without being forced into reductionism. This permits a property dualism under which biological and mental phenomena may emerge from intricate positive feedback networks, involving many levels of both the biological and cognitive hierarchies.
