On Boyd's Rebuttal of Kripke's Argument for Dualism
Papers of the 37th International Wittgenstein Symposium 22:175-177 (2014)
Abstract
The essay presents Saul Kripke's argument for mind/body-dualism and makes the suppositions explicit on which it rests. My claim, inspired by Richard Boyd, is that even if one of Kripke’s central suppositions - the principle of necessity of identities using rigid designators - is shared by the non-traditional identity theorist, it is still possible for her to rebut Kripke’s dualism.
