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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jens Harbecke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48260992893179,"sku":"9783110324495","price":320.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_4454d266-3985-4a29-a07d-8724bcedba44.jpg?v=1778451668","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/mental-causation-9783110324495","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
