Högre seminariet i filosofi bjuder in till seminarium med Bram Vaassen. Titel (på engelska): No Work from Causal Pairing Arguments.
Abstract (på engelska):
Dualists famously struggle with a variety of mental causation problems. One central problem is that dualists have a hard time ‘pairing’ mental causes with their purported effects (cf. Kim, 2001). Shiller (2020) argues that the standard responses formulated by Jehle (2006); Bennett (2007); Plantinga (2007); Lycan (2009); Bailey et al. (2011); Audi (2011), and Saad (2017) all lose their plausibility once one considers that mental causes should have neural effects. I argue that, if the standard approaches to other mental causation problems for dualists are effective, they immediately resolve causal pairing problems as well. Consequently, pairing arguments impose no further work on dualists.
