A natural successor to \u003ci\u003eThe Waning of Materialism\u003c\/i\u003e, this companion to substance dualism is a thorough exploration of the many interpretations of mind-body interaction. The esteemed contributors are once again demonstrating that physicalism has not achieved hegemonic dominance among serious philosophers and scientists. The 100-year failure of physicalism to explain the underpinnings of experience has elevated dualism once again into the realm of serious intellectual consideration. We are witnessing a paradigm shift from a century that attempted to eschew the notion of a subjective observer, to an increasingly nuanced model of human experience—one that requires far more than merely the cognitive aspects of perception. Rather, we need a philosophical context that enhances the investigation of the active and causally efficacious elements of the subjective aspects of mental life. \u003ci\u003eThe Blackwell Companion to Substance Dualism\u003c\/i\u003e thoroughly discusses the variety of topics surrounding substance and property dualism. Readers will enjoy touring the intellectual landscape of the centuries-old mind-body debate that continues to generate an extraordinary magnitude of controversy. Every passing moment confirms that mental facts are real, and \u003ci\u003eThe Blackwell Companion to Substance Dualism\u003c\/i\u003e has something for everyone who experiences what it is like to be a human and wonders, 'why?'\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eJeffrey M. Schwartz, University of California Los Angeles\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Dualism has reemerged in philosophy because physicalism has so obviously failed to capture the basic facts of mental life. But the restoration of dualism is also the restoration of the subject, hence the need for substance dualism. In this volume, a collection of top-rank philosophers discuss, both as advocates and critics, all major forms of substance dualism - including emergenist, Cartesian, hylomorphic - as well as their relation to various aspects of Christian doctrine. This is a major contribution to an on-going transformation of analytic philosophy of mind.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eHoward Robinson, Central European University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"This excellent book is chock-a-block full of interesting essays.

What is much less known is that sophisticated versions and defenses of substance dualism have been developed in that same period, leading to a resurgence of interest in it. This makes the Blackwell Companion a timely book. It consists of a truly impressive collection of essays that provides both in-depth defenses and critiques of substance dualism on general and of each of its major versions. As an added bonus, it has a section on theological considerations. There is no book that provides anywhere close to the thoroughness, depth, and even-handedness of this collection. This makes it essential reading for anyone interested in the current debates regarding substance dualism.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eRobin Collins, Messiah College\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003eJonathan J.
