The argument is that the existence of subjective facts shows that not all facts are physical. I argue that this way of arguing makes physicalism too easy to refute; since there plainly are subjective facts in the relevant sense,physicalists would be better advised not to express their view as the view that all facts are physical. But how then should physicalism be expressed? A szeminaarium szervez'oje: E. Szaboo Laaszloo. -- Laszlo E.
