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.

Thanks for that. A good read.

I trip up on some of the jargon (being quite new to this philosophy thing) so I doubt I fully understood it, but I got through it.

I have a good explanation for this bit on the last page:
"But then what explains the unique relation between the mind and that body? This is indeed an embarrassing question, but the answer is to be found in whatever would explain the appearance of minds in the evolutionary process."
So that made me happy.

Has anyone made an attempt to unify dualism, physicalism and epiphenomenalism, externalism etc.?
