| Summary: | In this paper the author presents an argument in favor of minimal dualism — thesis,
according to which conscious agents are able to exist without bodies. Author
demonstrates the advantages of this argument. Firstly, he shows that this argument
is invulnerable to the epistemic strategy of criticizing the conceivability argument.
Secondly, the epistemic approach restricts the conceivability of creatures, the
possibility of which is incompatible with the minimal dualism |
