A Critique of Kim’s Case That Classical Metaphysical Emergence is Incoherent
Jaegwon Kim, in “‘Supervenient and Yet Not Deducible’: Is There a Coherent Concept of Ontological Emergence?” (2009), attempts to show that C.D. Broad’s conception of metaphysical emergence is incoherent. I argue that Kim’s attempt fails because he fails to recognize that trans-ordinal laws, in Broad’s sense, are supposed to be ontologically fundamental laws. Broad’s conception of metaphysical emergence is coherent, though it is another issue (on…

Physicalism and its Discontents
Physicalism, a topic that has been central to modern philosophy of mind and metaphysics, is the philosophical view that everything in the space-time world is ultimately physical. The physicalist will claim that all facts about the mind and the mental are physical facts and deny the existence of mental events and state insofar as these are thought of as independent of physical things, events and states. This collection of essays, first published i…
Introspecting Thoughts
Why Intentional Systems Theory Cannot Reconcile Physicalism With Realism about Belief and Desire
There are Fewer Things in Reality Than are Dreamt of in Chalmers's Philosophy
Is Content-Externalism Compatible with Privileged Access
Externalist theories of thought content are sometimes arrived at by reflection upon Earth thought experiments of the sort made famous by Hilary Putnam and Tyler Burge. The conclusion many philosophers draw from these thought experiments is that certain types of thought contents are individuated, in part, by environmental or socioenvironmental factors.' This doctrine of Twin Earth content-externalism implies that it is possible for thinkers that a…

Emergence and Supervenience
This paper presents a brief history of British Emergentism from Mill (1843) to Broad (1925). In the 20th century, the scientific revolution of quantum mechanics led to the reductive explanation of chemical bonding ; and the philosophical results of functionalism and a posteriori necessity also require a reformulation of the notion of emergence. The paper examines an attempt by Van Cleve (1990) to define the notion of an emergent property by appea…
Varieties of Supervenience
In recent years, supervenience has been the subject of extensive philosophical analysis. Varieties of supervenience have been distinguished, their pairwise logical relationships examined, and their usefulness for various purposes scrutinized. However, despite extensive analysis, some details are askew, some controversies unresolved. I will by no means attempt to straighten out all the details or to settle all the controversies. But I will take a …

On Punctate Content and on Conceptual Role
Modesty, FL p. 207). While a defense of view that having a is punctate (i.e., not anatomic) is not required to meet this aim, one would expect F&L to offer some reason to think that having a is punctate. But they offer no such reason. Here is what they do instead. They concede that it may well be true for any proposition P that: can't that P unless there are propositions other than P that you believe (p. 28). Moreover, they acknowledge that prope…

Type Epiphenomenalism, Type Dualism, and the Causal Priority of the Physical
Epiphenomenalism may be taken to assert one of two things. (1) That certain events which have physiological characteristics have also mental characteristics...And that an event which has mental characteristics never causes another event in virtue of its mental characteristics, but only in virtue of its physiological characteristics. Or (2) that no event has both mental and physiological characteristics; but that the complete cause of any event wh…

Hierarchical Cluster Analysis Using Intraclass Correlations
Sixteen hierarchical clustering algorithms were compared on their ability to resolve 20 multivariate normal mixtures (Blashfield, 1976) and 12 multivariate gamma mixtures (Mojena, 1977). The 16 algorithms represented a 4 x 4 (amalgamation rule x similarity measure) design. The amalgamation rules were single, complete, average, and centroid linkage. The similarity measures were Euclidean distance, correlation, and the one-way and two-way intraclas…
