Mindfulness or Mindlessness?

[Neo-Scholastic]

To quote the title of the famous paper, I don't think you are "Giving Dualism Its Due."

You got a link? Google gave me multiple items. Not sure which is the "famous paper." I'd like to read it... sounds interesting.

I've always said that property dualism isn't that bad. It's a decent bare-bones assessment of things. That being said, there are plenty of reasons to consider physicalism of some kind more plausible. Brain states are heavily involved in conscious states. If someone postulates conscious states that aren't causally dependant on brain states, I want to ask for proof of that.

SUMMARY REVIEW


FULL TEXT

<Should probably give it another read myself.>

Don't want to get into some kind of "burden of proof" discussion here because I agree. If there was some reliable indication of a conscious state unrelated to a brain state, I also would like proof. But the way I see it, the intuitive appeal of dualism hasn't been as firmly swept away by physical reduction as the materialists claim...which is the point of the paper.
