摘要
In the mental causation debate, there is a common assumption that interactive dualism is false because of the principle of the causal closure of the physical domain. However, this paper argues that recent advances in metaphysics-more specifically, in the philosophy of causation-reveal a serious, general flaw in contemporary formulations of this principle.
