  • Summary

    The resulting picture of mental causation, which is summarized in this chapter, has repercussions for debates about the nature of mind. If virtually all theories about the nature of mind can solve the problems of mental causation, then arguments from mental causation against certain theories become irrelevant in debates between reductive physicalists, non-reductive physicalists, and dualists. Questions about the nature of mind will have to be decided independently of the problems of mental causation.
