Barbara Montero
1. Explain why Montero thinks the body problem needs to be solved before we consider the mind-body problem.
2. Explain Hempel’s dilemma for those who would define the physical in reference to microphysics. Does Hempel’s dilemma show that there is no good solution to the body problem? Why or why not?
3. What does Montero mean when she suggests that we should ask whether “the mental is ultimately non-mental”? Do you agree with her suggestion that this is a better question than the question of whether the mental is physical? Why or why not?
