The chief motivation for epiphenomenalist dualism is its promise to solve dualism's causal exclusion problem without inducing causal overdetermination or violations of the causal closure of the physical. This paper argues that epiphenomenalist dualism is itself susceptible to an exclusion problem. The problem exploits symmetries of determination and influence generated by a wide class of physical theories. Further, I argue that there is an interference effect between solving epiphenomenalist dualism's exclusion problem and using epiphenomenalist dualism as a solution to the causal exclusion problem. What emerges is an overlooked, empirically motivated challenge to epiphenomenalist dualism.

现象学家二元论的一个排除问题

现象学家二元论的主要动机是其承诺解决二元论的因果排除问题而不会引起因果过高确定或违反因果关系的物理封闭。本文认为,现象论对偶二元论本身容易受到排斥问题的影响。这个问题利用了各种各样的物理理论所产生的确定性和影响力的对称性。此外,我认为解决表名和对偶二元论的排斥问题与将表象和二元论作为因果排除问题的解决方案之间存在干扰作用。出现的是对现象学家二元论的一种被忽视,出于经验的动机挑战。
