300-500 words on Philosophy Question- Leibnez’s law or epiphenomenalism and interactionist dualism
Description
write a 300-500 word short essay on one of these following questions as a substitute:
- Prompt 1: Explain the connection between Leibniz’s Law and sentences like “I think that Superman is very strong, and I think that Clark Kent is not very strong,” said by someone who is unaware that Clark Kent and Superman are one and the same.
- Prompt 2: Explain the difference between epiphenomenalism and interactionist dualism. Why might someone prefer one of these views (pick your favorite) over the other?
The target length for these essays is 300-500 words.
These are the main points that we have learned about the Leibnez’s Law topic so please dont go too far in depth as this is just for a 101 class.
- Leibniz’s Law (also called “the indiscernibility of identicals”)
- Does Leibniz’s Law say that if X and Y have all the same properties, they are one and the same thing?
- Intrinsic versus extrinsic/relational properties
- Qualitative identity (being copies or duplicates of each other, at least at a given moment) versus Numerical identity (being one and the same thing)
- the “divisibility argument” for dualism
- “I know that reporter is alive right now. I don’t know whether Superman is still alive. Hence that reporter is not one and the same as Superman.”
- “I have no doubts about my mind’s existence. I do have doubts about whether my body really exists. Hence my mind is not one and the same as my body.”
