Following up on the discussion today about Physicalism, I thought I’d point you to a paper that does a nice job at spelling out what the possible views are:

David Chalmers, “Consciousness and its place in Nature”. Reprinted in: Chalmers, D. (ed.), Philosophy of Mind: Classical and Contemporary Readings, New York: OUP, 2002.

See in particular the section entitled ‘Type B Materialism’. (I’ve posted an electronic version of the paper in the Dropbox folder.)
