Single Idea 2309
[filed under theme 17. Mind and Body / D. Property Dualism / 5. Supervenience of mind
]
Full Idea
Many philosophers saw in mind-body supervenience a satisfying metaphysical statement of physicalism without reductionism. This widely influential position is now known as "nonreductive physicalism".
