Personal Identity

Dualism

(Text as at 06/07/2023 00:43:12)

Plug Note¹

• Thesis Text:
  1. Dualism is unfashionable these days, which makes it a temptation to ignore. However, well-known contemporary dualists include:-
     • David Chalmers (probably),
     • Richard Swinburne, and
     • Dean Zimmerman.
       
  2. Time was when all Christians were dualists, but now there is a sub-group of Christian Materialists². Here’s a skirmish between Lynne Rudder Baker and Dean Zimmerman, starting with
     • "Zimmerman (Dean) - Christians Should Affirm Mind-Body Dualism", and
     • "Baker (Lynne Rudder) - Christians Should Reject Mind-Body Dualism"
       
  3. For two contrasting accounts, see:-
     • "Green (Joel B.) - Body, Soul, and Human Life: The Nature of Humanity in the Bible" (materialist), and
     • "Hasker (William) - The Emergent Self" (dualist)
       
  4. My primary text for dualism from an ostensibly secular (even if – I suspect – theistically-motivated) perspective ought to be "Swinburne (Richard) - Personal Identity: The Dualist Theory", though it’s maybe a bit dated.
  5. Dualism is important because if mind-body substance dualism is true, then animalism³ is false.
  6. The argument might go – from “Sunday school dualism” – that if we have souls, then we can’t be animals, as animals don’t have souls. But, dualism is really only claiming that the mental cannot be reduced to the physical. But if this is true of human beings – whatever they are – then it is true of human animals, and all animals⁴ with minds. So, the topic might be orthogonal to animalism – the claim that we are animals.
  7. That said, there is a tradition of treating dualism as more sympathetic to the psychological view⁵ of personal identity, that our persistence conditions are mental, which animalism claims to be irrelevant to our identity.
  8. Also, if dualism is false, I will argue that resurrection⁶ or reincarnation⁷ is impossible. Well, resurrection of (sufficient of) a corpse would be metaphysically possible, but following the total destruction of the body, there is nothing to carry the identity of the individual.
  9. If dualism is true, the possibility of teletransportation⁸ is even less likely than would be the case were materialism⁹ true. How would the immaterial soul make it to the new location and be re-united with its reconstituted or newly-constituted body?

  Further Remarks:
  1. I have no great interest in dualism as a thesis in the philosophy of mind. I’m a card-carrying materialist¹⁰. Consequently, I’ve ignored the great bulk of the works on dualism₁₁ in the categorised reading-list below with the exception of those that relate it to the topic of Personal Identity.
  2. That said, Erkenntnis Vol. 65, No. 1, Prospects for Dualism: Interdisciplinary Perspectives (2006) is relevant to the general topic, including
     • "Lowe (E.J.) - Non-Cartesian Substance Dualism and the Problem of Mental Causation",
     • "Barrett (Jeffrey A.) - A Quantum-Mechanical Argument for Mind-Body Dualism", and
     • "Stapp (Henry P.) - Quantum Interactive Dualism, II: The Libet and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Causal Anomalies".
  3. It’d be nice to find time to look at Chalmers
     • "Chalmers (David) - How Cartesian Dualism Might Have Been True", and
     • "Chalmers (David) - Naturalistic Dualism".
  4. It would be worth reading the following:-
     • "Robinson (Howard) - Dualism (Stanford)", and
     • "Robinson (Howard) - Dualism (Blackwell)"
  5. There would seem to be the risk of an overlap between this Note and two others, which also overlap with one another:-
     • Souls¹²
     • Soul Criterion¹³.
  6. I intend to leave anything specific to Souls to one of the above Notes.

Footnote 11:

• I wrote a pre-submitted essay for my BA Finals “What is Descartes’s argument for the ‘real distinction’ between mind and body? Is it a good one?”.
• This quoted the following:-
  • "Rozemond (Marleen) - The Real Distinction Argument", and
  • "Wilson (Margaret) - Descartes: The Epistemological Argument for Mind-Body Distinctness".
• "Rozemond (Marleen) - Descartes' Case for Dualism" is also relevant.
