In The Causal Exclusion Problem, the popular strategy of abandoning
any one of the principles constituting the causal exclusion problem
is considered, but ultimately rejected. The metaphysical
foundations undergirding the causal exclusion problem are then
explored, revealing that the causal exclusion problem cannot be
dislodged by undermining its metaphysical foundations - as some are
in the habit of doing. Finally, the significant difficulties
associated with the bevy of contemporary nonreductive solutions,
from supervenience to emergentism, are expanded upon. While
conducting this survey of contemporary options, however, two novel
approaches are introduced, both of which may resolve the causal
exclusion problem from within a nonreductive physicalist paradigm.
The Causal Exclusion Problem, which relentlessly motivates the
vexing causal exclusion problem and exhaustively surveys its
metaphysical assumptions and contemporary responses, is ideal for
an advanced undergraduate or graduate course in the philosophy of
mind.
