    This chapter outlines physicalism, this first of a trio of interconnected philosophical views which, while logically independent, are mutually reinforcing and which are responsible for the widespread acceptance of a relational understanding of mental causation. This chapter explains how arguments for physicalism presuppose the relational understanding of mental causation.
