Physicalist Manifesto: Thoroughly Modern Materialism

A Physicalist Manifesto is a full treatment of the comprehensive physicalist view that, in some important sense, everything is physical. Andrew Melnyk argues that the view is best formulated by appeal to a carefully worked-out notion of realization, rather than supervenience; that, so formulated, physicalism must be importantly reductionist; that it need not repudiate causal and explanatory claims framed in non-physical language; and that it has the a posteriori epistemic status of a broad-scope scientific hypothesis.Melnyk, Andrew is the author of 'Physicalist Manifesto: Thoroughly Modern Materialism', published 2007 under ISBN 9780521038942 and ISBN 0521038944.
