Moreland Defends Dualist Interactionism, Arguing That the Mind Is Distinct

Moreland defends dualist interactionism, arguing that the mind is distinct from the brain. He compares physicalism, the view that the only thing that exists in the universe is matter, with substance dualism, the view that mind is separate from matter. He gives several reasons for rejecting physicalism and accepting dualism. Moreland claims that the idea of dualism is best understood from within a wider metaphysic, such as theism.
-Moreland maintains that the fact of intentionality is evidence that the self is not physical but mental.
