1. Non-dualism, natural science and what contemporary artistic practices have to say about it
Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/HDK-Valand - Högskolan för konst och designSammanfattning : In this essay I intend to investigate what role contemporary art plays in the exploration of fundamental aspects of reality - and the importance of it.

The Compatibilist solution is to deny overdetermination, and thus they say we may preserve both mental and physical efficacy. However, in my paper I wish to show why the Compatibilist solution has not secured a materialist position. LÄS MER
