自然主义与二元论的合流——以查默斯的自然主义二元论为例

On the Confluence of Naturalism and Dualism——Taking Chalmers’ Naturalistic Dualism for Example

当代心灵哲学涌现出一股自然主义的新潮流。通常来讲,自然主义能与唯物主义、物理主义代替使用。令人惊奇的是,也有一些哲学家试图把自然主义与二元论相结合,查默斯的自然主义二元论是其典型代表。在大多数哲学家看来,自然主义二元论并不能在解释意识的问题上取得成功。

Naturalism is like a rush of new trend emerging from contemporary philosophy of mind.Generally,naturalism can be used interchangeably with materialism and physicalism.But it is surprising that there are some philosophers who tried to combine naturalism with dualism.David J.Chalmers who advocated a kind of naturalistic dualism is a typical representative of them.For most philosophers,naturalistic dualism fails to explain the problem of consciousness.
