In Physical Realization, Sydney Shoemaker considers the question of how
physicalism can be true: how can all facts about the world, including mental
ones, be constituted by facts about the distribution in the world of physical
properties? Physicalism requires that the mental properties of a person are
'realized in' the physical properties of that person, and that all
instantiations of properties in macroscopic objects are realized in
microphysical states of affairs. Shoemaker offers an account of both these sorts
of realization, one which allows the realized properties to be causally
efficacious. He also explores the implications of this account for a wide range
of metaphysical issues, including the nature of persistence through time, the
problem of material constitution, the possibility of emergent properties, and
the nature of phenomenal consciousness.
