The premises constituting the problem are analyzed before a survey is developed of the most popular theories on mental causation. It is demonstrated in detail why most of these canonical solutions must be considered deficient. In a third part, the 'new compatibilist’s' approach to mental causation is explored, which is characterized by assertion of a non-identity-but-non-distinctness principle. The last part aims to offer an alternative solution to the problem. On the basis of a certain set of counterfactual conditionals, which are jointly taken to provide a definition of 'causal proportionality' that improves the existing definitions, it is shown that a specific, and hitherto widely neglected, version of causal overdeterminationism must be considered the most successful solution to the problem of mental causation.","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516480184663,"sku":"9783110324495","price":155.32,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/mental-causation-investigating-the-mind-s-powers-in-a-natural-world-9783110324495","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
