Bachelor thesis in Theoretical Philosophy — finding convergence between functionalism and Type-Identity Physicalism.
My bachelor thesis in Theoretical Philosophy (Uppsala University).

Mental states are recast as specific types of interactions between fundamental physical particles — and I argue that multiple realizability does not, on closer inspection, block this reduction.
