Professor Castleberry gives another lecture on the Mind/Body problem. This time he is highlighting the theory of physicalism. This theory claims that all mental states can be completely understood or reduced to physical states. Therefore any talk of a mind as immaterial is eradicated. This theory is an attack on Dualism.
