How should thought and consciousness be understood within a view of
the world as being through-and-through physical? Many philosophers
have proposed non-reductive, levels-based positions, according to
which the physical domain is fundamental, while thought and
consciousness are higher-level processes, dependent on and
determined by physical processes. In this book, Kevin Morris's
careful philosophical and historical critique shows that it is very
difficult to make good metaphysical sense of this idea - notions
like supervenience, physical realization, and grounding all fail to
articulate a viable non-reductive, levels-based physicalism.
Challenging assumptions about the mind-body problem and providing
new perspectives on the debate over physicalism, this accessible
and comprehensive book will interest scholars working in
metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of science.
