Can the Flat Physicalist Tell Us What a Physical Entity Is?,it has a close relation to the physical sciences, expressed by the physicalist claim that what exists in the world, i.e., the physical, is what physics maintains exists. This theory-based conception troubled Carl Hempel (Synthese, 45, 139–199, 1980), who in response formulated what later came to be

How Context Can Determine the Identity of Physical Computation,nswering the question ‘What does a particular neural—or physical—system do?’ in . terms. A single physical process may often be described equally well as computing several different mathematical functions—none of which is explanatorily privileged. But at which level of analysis is the computational

,Why Functionalism Is a Form of ‘Token-Dualism’,ics as a general theory of natural kinds. We show that all the claims mounted against type-identity physicalism in the literature don’t apply to Flat Physicalism, and moreover that this reductive theory solves many of the problems faced by the various non-reductive approaches including functionalism

Rethinking the Unity of Science Hypothesis: Levels, Mechanisms, and Realization,in distinct levels of organization, and that sciences, theories, or models take these levels as their subject matters. . requires that these sciences, theories, or models stand in a particular kind of relationship to each other. In this paper I will examine some skeptical challenges to the idea of l

Parsimony Arguments in Science and Metaphysics, and Their Connection with Unification, Fundamentaliname in evaluating competing metaphysical theories. Do justifications for the scientific evaluations carry over to the metaphysical? Here, I outline three “paradigms” for justifying the epistemic relevance of parsimony in science, and assess how they bear on theory evaluation in metaphysics. I conne

Levels, Kinds and Multiple Realizability: The Importance of What Does Not Matter,planation. The notion of level on which I will focus is explanation-based—the idea is that sometimes the fine-grained details of a system do not matter or do not matter much for the explanation of certain coarse-grained features of its behavior. When this is the case, we often regard those fine-grai
