What has become known as the blockers problem is an alleged difficulty facing attempts to formulate physicalism as a supervenience thesis. A blocker is an entity, itself contrary to physicalism, with the power to disrupt an otherwise necessary connection between physical and nonphysical conditions. I argue that there is no distinct blockers problem. Insofar as a problem can be identified, it turns out to be just a rather baroque version of a distinct and familiar objection to supervenience formulations and to be of no independent interest. Work on the formulation of physicalism can thus proceed without worrying about blockers.

物理主义畅通无阻

什么已经被称为阻滞剂问题是一个所谓的困难，试图将物理主义表述为一个附带论点。阻碍者是一个实体，它本身与物理主义相反，具有破坏物理和非物理条件之间原本必要的联系的能力。我认为没有明显的阻滞剂问题。就可以确定的问题而言，它只是对附带性表述的独特而熟悉的反对意见的一个相当巴洛克式的版本，并且没有独立的利益。因此，可以继续进行物理主义公式化的工作，而不必担心阻碍因素。
