Description

• Title:
  Might Overcoming the Explanatory Gap Be Like Overcoming Vitalism?
• Creator:
  LaPorte, Joseph
• Description:
  It seems to be a commonly held belief or hope, though one that is often left at a primitive state of articulation, that the vitalism-mechanism controversy is a success story whose complete telling would include an account of an initial problem very much like the mind-body problem that is still with us today. The appeal of the analogy is clear: if it is genuine, the analogy bodes well for the prospects of a conceptually satisfying physicalist resolution to the mind-body problem.
