RESUMO
Contemporary physicalism compels philosophy to deal with the problem of mental causation: How is the mind causally relevant in a physical world? A proposed solution, epiphenomenalism, is seen by major philosophers as a position that preserves features that are crucial to subjectivity without clashing with scientific facts. Still, the epistemology of the latter and the character of natural laws arguably contradict the alleged advantages of epiphenomenalism.
