Abstract
"Not a Simple Matter: Rejecting Materialism as a Solution to the Mind-Body Problem"
By Andrew Coyle
Mentored by Dr. Steve Parchment and Dr. Minh Nguyen
Department of History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies Many scholars accept materialism as an adequate solution to the mind-body problem. However, acceptance of materialism creates more problems than it purports to solve. This poster provides a background to the mind-body problem. This poster explores materialism as a potential solution to the mind-body problem. After reviewing materialism, it is rejected as an adequate solution to the mind-body problem. The poster concludes by positing property dualism as an alternate solution.
