A groundbreaking collection of contemporary essays from leading
international scholars that provides a balanced and expert account
of the resurgent debate about substance dualism and its physicalist
alternatives. Substance dualism has for some time been
dismissed as an archaic and defeated position in philosophy of
mind, but in recent years, the topic has experienced a resurgence
of scholarly interest and has been restored to contemporary
prominence by a growing minority of philosophers prepared to
interrogate the core principles upon which past objections and
misunderstandings rest. As the first book of its kind to bring
together a collection of contemporary writing from top proponents
and critics in a pro-contra format, The Blackwell Companion to
Substance Dualism captures this ongoing dialogue and sets the stage
for rigorous and lively discourse around dualist and physicalist
accounts of human persons in philosophy. Chapters explore
emergent, Thomistic, Cartesian, and other forms of substance
dualism—broadly conceived—in dialogue with leading varieties of
physicalism, including animalism, non-reductive physicalism, and
constitution theory. Loose, Menuge, and Moreland pair essays from
dualist advocates with astute criticism from physicalist opponents
and vice versa, highlighting points of contrast for readers in
thematic sections while showcasing today’s leading minds engaged
in direct debate. Taken together, essays provide nuanced paths of
introduction for students, and capture the imagination of
professional philosophers looking to expand their understanding of
the subject. Skillfully curated and in touch with contemporary
science as well as analytic theology, The Blackwell Companion to
Substance Dualism strikes a measured balanced between advocacy and
criticism, and is a first-rate resource for researchers, scholars,
and students of philosophy, theology, and neuroscience.
