The participation of the unobserbvable entities in the mind-body problematic. Harmony between intelect and nature

Abstract

The object of this essay is to analyze the role played by unobservable or theoretical entities in the philosophical theories whose content is the mind-body problem. Substantialism, physicalism, philosophical behavioursm, and scepticism are the main sources of inspiration, and it is from them that I try to determine the pertinence or lack of pertinence of theoretical entities for the mind-body problem.
