Primes

• Causality

  • This sourceDevelops the supervenience/exclusion argument: if a physical effect has a sufficient physical cause, an irreducible mental cause is excluded (or overdetermines).

• Downward Causation
  • Kim, J. (1998, 2005) developed the causal exclusion argument against strong downward causation.

    This sourceDevelops the supervenience/causal-exclusion argument; supports D19-077 (canonical challenge to strong downward causation — mental causation appears excluded unless one denies physicalism, reduces the mental, or reinterprets supervenience).
