nonreductive

We suggest below that Samuel Alexander's conception of emergentism is actually the closest parallel to the modern view known as nonreductive physicalism.

He has convinced a surprising number of philosophers that “nonreductive physicalism” is an oxymoron.

As do many philosophers of mind these days, I call my position nonreductive physicalism.

But when I began using this term ten or so years ago, the “nonreductive” part, I realized, was just a place holder.

And, finally, I mention some of the additional issues that the nonreductive physicalist needs to deal with.

I believe that the most common stated position on the relation of mental phenomena to the brain among current philosophers of mind is nonreductive physicalism.

For nonreductive realists justifying reasons and explanatory reasons are connected in neither of these intimate ways.

And if one has a nonreductive fine-grained view, then the resulting multiplication may still be blameless.

In the end, Polger countenances some multiple realizability, but argues that this much does not threaten his “nonreductive” version of mind-brain identity theory:

It is worth reminding ourselves that many nonreductive physicalists have employed multiple realizability to argue against all forms of psychophysical reductionism.
