A singularly powerful and rigorous argument in favor of modern
substance dualism In The Substance of Consciousness: A
Comprehensive Defense of Contemporary Substance Dualism, two
distinguished philosophers deliver a unique and powerful defense of
contemporary substance dualism, which makes the claim that the
human person is an embodied fundamental, immaterial, and unifying
substance. Multidisciplinary in scope, the book explores areas of
philosophy, cognitive science, neuroscience, and the sociology of
mind-body beliefs. The authors present the most comprehensive,
up-to-date, and rigorous non-edited work on substance dualism in
the field, as well as a detailed history of how property and
substance dualism have been presented and evaluated over the last
150 years. Alongside developing new and updated positive arguments
for substance dualism, they also discuss key metaphysical notions
and distinctions that inform the examination of substance dualism
and its alternatives. Readers will also find: A thorough
examination of the recent shift away from standard physicalism and
the renaissance of substance dualism Comprehensive explorations of
the likely future of substance dualism in the twenty-first century,
including an exhaustive list of proposed research projects for
substance dualists Practical discussion of new and rigorous
critiques of significant physicality alternatives, including
emergentism and panpsychism. Extensive treatments of philosophy of
mind debates about the roles played by staunch/faint-hearted
naturalism and theism in establishing or presuming methodology,
epistemic priorities, and prior metaphysical commitments Perfect
for professional philosophers, The Substance of Consciousness will
also earn a place in the libraries of consciousness researchers,
philosophical theologians, and religious studies scholars.
