While referring to several other facets of the philosophy of mind, the author focuses on epiphenomenalism and interactionism and presents a critique of the former in terms of biological evolution. The interactionist argument supports the relevance of parapsychology to the problem of consciousness and the statistical technique of meta-analysis is cited in support of this position.", pages = "32-37(6)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/imp/jcs/1994/00000001/00000001/art00004" }
