Summary: Physicalism is a metaphysical thesis that can be easily summarized in a slogan—"there is nothing over and above the physical"—but it is notoriously challenging to define with precision. Understanding Physicalism integrates insights from contemporary philosophy of mind and metaphysics to offer a new account of physical properties and metaphysical dependence. Based on this foundation, it develops a more rigorous and insightful formulation of the physicalist thesis.
