Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Montero invokes Hempel's dilemma to argue that even if we define physical in terms of microphysics, it still fails to address the mind-body problem because there seems to be no way to connect microphysical processes to mental processes. Therefore, A ("defining the physical in terms of microphysics does not solve the body problem") is the best choice.
