[American, fl. 1988, Professor at the University of Memphis.]

1993 From Supervenience to Superdupervenience
§4 p.12 'Superdupervenience' is supervenience that has a robustly materialistic explanation
§5 p.16 'Global' supervenience is facts tracking varying physical facts in every possible world
§5 p.16 Physicalism needs more than global supervenience on the physical
§6 p.19 Materialism requires that physics be causally complete
§8 p.23 Don't just observe supervenience - explain it!
§8 p.27 Instrumentalism normally says some discourse is useful, but not genuinely true
