Three Roads from Sensory Awareness to Dualism

Abstract In this commentary on Neil Mehta’s excellent book, A Pluralist Theory of Perception, I argue that Mehta’s commitments lead to dualism. To this end, I give three arguments against physicalism that centrally rely on claims Mehta accepts. Since the relevant claims are highly plausible, the three arguments give everyone, not just Mehta, reason to reject physicalism.
