Thanks for laying this out, David. I'm in the Option 3 camp, too (see my "Against Physicalism"), but more radically. For example, Davidsonian anomalous monism doesn't go far enough: like many others he thinks that token identities are significantly weaker than type identities, but they're not.

Where can i find "Against Physicalism"?

It's in Hornsby and Fricker's Cambridge Companion to Feminism in Philosophy and in my Shifting Ground. If you email me (naomi@umn.edu) I can send you (or anyone else) a pdf.

Please send a .pdf to me as well. kurtzs@ncf.ca

I'm stuck in physicalism. According to science, there are no calorie free thoughts, feelings, memories, perceptions, actions... even awareness.
