dc.descriptionLa principal objeción contra al dualismo cartesiano en filosofía de la mente es que resulta incompatible con la ciencia. Se sostiene, en particular, que el principio de clausura causal del mundo físico y el teorema de preservación de la energía, así como el concepto de interacción dinámica de la física fundamental, desautorizan la postulación de interacciones causales entre sustancias pensantes y sustancias extensas. En este trabajo sostengo que esta conclusión es por lo menos apresurada y que no es un asunto trivial refutar el dualismo cartesiano usando consideraciones empíricas. Mis tesis son: (i) que las críticas antidualistas basadas en premisas científicas colapsan en un reduccionismo metafísicamente implausible y (ii) que la teoría física no excluye la existencia de una relación de causación o interacción dinámica recurrente como la que se requiere para explicar la experiencia consciente, postulando un nexo pertinente entre mentes inmateriales y sistemas nerviosos.
dc.descriptionThe main objection against Cartesian dualism in Philosophy of Mind is that it is incompatible with science. It has been argued, in particular, that the principle of causal closure of the physical world and the theorem of preservation of energy –as well as the concept of dynamic interaction of fundamental physics– overrule the postulation of causal interactions between thinking substances and extended ones. In this paper I argue that this conclusion is at least hasty and that it is not a trivial issue to refute Cartesian dualism by using empirical considerations. My theses are: (i) that the antidualistic criticisms based on scientific premises collapse into a metaphysically implausible reductionism; and (ii) that physical theory does not preclude the existence of a relation of causation or recurrent dynamic interaction as the one required in order to explain the conscious experience by postulating a pertinent link between immaterial minds and nervous systems.
