Abstract

PINEDA, David. Por qué el problema del hiato explicativo es realmente un problema para el fisicismo. Anal. filos. [online]. 2004, vol.24, n.2, pp.135-164. ISSN 1851-9636.

In this paper I explore compatibilism, the view that the claim that there is an explanatory gap between the phenomenal and the physical is compatible with an overall physicalist metaphysics. I argue that the property dualism argument is an incompatibilist argument which is stronger than the Jackson-Chalmers argument or Kripke's argument and I critically explore some recent attempts in the literature to deal with it. The conclusion is that a compatibilist view, one able to cope with the property dualism argument, is still pending.

Keywords : Phenomenal consciousness; Psychophysical identities; Dualism of properties.
