*Dualism in the Twenty-First Century*

Mind-body dualism underwent a renaissance in the last part of the twentieth
century. Several arguments challenged the capacity of physicalism to
accommodate mental phenomenal, especially conscious experience. Dualism was
widely considered the leading alternative. Since then, sophisticated
responses to arguments against physicalism have been developed, and
nonphysicalist views other than dualism, including idealism and Russellian
monism have received renewed interest. This conference will examine the
prospects for dualism in the twenty-first century in light of the latest
research, including the arguments for and against dualism; the relative
merits of dualism, and other nonphysicalist positions in the metaphysics of
mind; and the relationship between dualism and wider issues in philosophy.
