Mark your calendars! Barry Loewer Department of Philosophy, Rutgers University Mental Causation: Or Something Near Enough 8 November, 2005 (Tuesday) 5 PM CEU Department of Philosophy, 1051 Budapest, Zrínyi u. 14, 4th floor, rm. 412. I defend a version of non-reductive physicalism against the criticism (due to Kim among others) that it can't account for mental causation. I argue that Kim's so called "exclusion argument" presupposes a view of causation that is, as Russell once put it, "like much that passes muster among philosophers, is a relic of a bygone age, surviving, like the monarchy, only because it is erroneously supposed to do no harm." *BMS home page:* http://philosophy.elte.hu/bms *Inquiries:* zjakab(a)cogsci.bme.hu <mailto:zjakab@cogsci.bme.hu>
