Physicalism is a programme for building a unified system of knowledge based upon the view that everything is a manifestation of the physical aspects of existence.

He reviews and evaluates major objections to the programme and considers its significance for philosophy, science, society, and individual persons. An important theme of t...

This book addresses the crisis and the associated “extraordinary science” (Thomas Kuhn's term for scientific resea...
