Naturalism, Free Choices, And Conscious Experiences

God or Blind Nature? Philosophers Debate the Evidence (2007)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

The third of three contributions to an e-book in which I debated Stewart Goetz and Charles Taliaferro on the question whether the human mind is material. I said that it is, and they said that it isn't. The article is meant to be intelligible to an educated general audience. In this third contribution, I reply to the claim of Goetz and Taliaferro that naturalism (i.e., anti-supernaturalism) cannot accommodate free choices and conscious experience.
