'In their interesting and important book, Corbí and Prades
successfully identify and question the metaphysical assumptions
behind current orthodoxy about mental causation, making an original
and important contribution to our understanding of this central
topic.'
Christopher Hookway, University of Sheffield
'Minds, Causes, and Mechanisms is a timely and highly
valuable contribution that will re-energize the ongoing debate and
take it to another level. It offers refeshingly lucid and
illuminating analysis and critique of the basic assumptions and
arguments that have shaped the dominant physicalist outlook in this
area, what Corbí and Prades call "causal physicalism".
This book is an essential contribution. Highly recommended.'
Jaegwon Kim, Brown University
'A thorough and subtle critique of physicalism. After reading
it, even committed physicalists may conclude that their doctrine is
beyond resurrection.'
George Couvalis, Flinders University
