|
|
|
It is not possible that the very same action is both free and causally determined
|
Incompatibilism:
|
|
|
It is possible that the very same action is both free causally determined.
|
Compatibilism:
|
|
|
Every human action is causally determined and not free.
|
Hard Determinism:
|
|
|
Some human actions are free and causally determined. A consequence of indeterminism is that not every
event is causally determined. |

Indeterminism:
|
|
|
A variety of mind/body materialism according to which mental states are identical to computational or
information processing states. Also known as Computationalism or Strong Artificial Intelligence |
Machine Functionalism:
|
|
|
All there is is matter and the physical properties of matter.
|
Metaphysical Materialism:
|
|
|
All there is is minds and properties of minds.
|
Metaphysical Idealism:
|
|
|
All there is divides into two basic and distinct kinds: matter and mind (or spirit).
|
Metaphysical Dualism:
|

|
What there is is too chaotic to be classified into a finite and determinate set of categories.
|
Metaphysical Pluralism:
|
|
|
The philosophical study of what there is, particularly the fundamental nature of reality.
|
Metaphysics:
|
|
|
There are mental states that are not identical to material or physical states.
|
Mind/Body Dualism:
|
|
|
Human beings cannot know whether mind and body are identical.
|
Mind/Body Skepticism:
|
|
|
A variety of mind/body materialism according to which mental states are identical to states of the brain or
central nervous system. Also known as Central State Identity Theory. |
Mind/Brain Identity Theory:
|
|
|
Mental states are identical to material or physical states.
|
Mind/Body Materialism:
|
|
|
A variety of mind/body materialism according to which mental states are identical to types of bodily
behavior. |
Philosophical Behaviorism:
|
|
|
See Compatibilism
