This book evaluates the widespread preference in philosophy of mind for varieties of property dualism over other alternatives to physicalism. It takes the standard motivations for property dualism as a starting point and argues that these lead directly to nonphysical substances resembling the soul of traditional metaphysics.

The Mind-Body Problem and Metaphysics will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and the history of philosophy.

Table contents:

Why Does Everyone Hate the Soul?
The Decline of Substance Dualism and the Substance-Property Distinction
A Defence of the Independence Definition of Substance
Four Theories of Mind and the Place of Russellian Monism
The Strangeness of Property Dualism
Parity of Reasoning Demands Nonphysical Substances
The Consequences of the Parity Argument for Nonphysical Substances
