An Argument Against Epiphenomenalism
European Journal of Analytic Philosophy 9 (2):5 - 17 (2013)
Abstract
I formulate an argument against epiphenomenalism; the argument shows that epiphenomenalism is extremely improbable. Moreover the argument suggests that qualia not only have causal powers, but have their causal powers necessarily. I address possible objections and then conclude by considering some implications the argument has for dualism
