摘要：

This paper investigates the consistency of holding two dualist propositions, relating to consciousness, and one physicalist proposition, relating to knowledge. We conclude that accepting all three leads to an absurdity. We contend that a dualist who is true to her dualist principles, the "good dualist", will, thereof, need to reject the physicalist proposition in order to maintain consistency. We show that this opens up a space in which to locate the possibility of private knowledge. We conclude "good dualism" entails a space for private knowledge.
