- Physicalism – There is only physics.
- Dualism – Consciousness effects the physical world apart from physics.
“There is therefore a curious phenomenon in which physicists reject the dualist interpretation by appeal to philosophy and then proceed to formulate physicalist solutions to the measurement problem (e.g. the many-worlds interpretation); meanwhile philosophers reject dualism by appeal to such physical theories (and in particular, the fact that the laws of those theories don’t mention consciousness). If that is what the argument for physicalism amounts to then it is viciously circular.”
It’s possible that they are both right.. that there is an unknown set of physical laws that we can see or measure yet.
