Abstract

I formulate an argument against epiphenomenalism; the argument
shows that epiphenomenalism is extremely improbable.
Moreover the argument suggests that qualia not only
have causal powers, but have their causal powers necessarily.
I address possible objections and then conclude by considering
some implications the argument has for dualism.

Keywords

Epiphenomenalism; Dualism; Mind-Body Problem; Supervenience
