 Hence, the question arises whether there can still be a non-reductive physicalism.Donald Davidson's anomalous monism is an attempt to formulate such a physicalism.He "thinks that when one runs across what are traditionally seen as absurdities of Reason, such as akrasia or self-deception, the personal psychology framework is not to be given up in favor of the subpersonal one, but rather must be enlarged or extended so that the rationality set out by the principle of charity can be found elsewhere."
