Publisher's Synopsis
In this book and its sequel, the author proposes to articulate and defend a form of Substance Dualism, the thesis that the human organism consists in the union of two distinct substances, soul and body, that are different in nature but interdependent in operation as parts of the organism they jointly compose. In Volume I, the author takes aim at materialism and physicalism about mind, arguing that this view the very possibility of all theoretical inquiry, including natural science, and ultimately entails a paralyzing skepticism that rules out rational thought and discourse altogether, In Volume II, the author addresses the implications of Substance Dualism for the philosophy of Space and Time.
