For decades, materialism has claimed victory over consciousness. Join German philosopher Martine Nida-Rümelin as she argues for her own unique brand of dualism without mysticism. Consciousness cannot be reduced to brain processes alone, and the mind and body are not one and the same thing. Ignoring this has distorted our ethics, responsibility, and personhood. Dualism is not anti-science but a demand for intellectual honesty. To explain consciousness, we must admit it is not merely another object.
