Jaegwon Kim
Jaegwon Kim (September 12, 1934 – November 27, 2019) was a
Korean-American philosopher. At the time of his death, Kim was an
emeritus professor of
philosophy at
Brown University. He also taught at several other leading American universities during his lifetime, including the
University of Michigan,
Cornell University, the
University of Notre Dame,
Johns Hopkins University, and
Swarthmore College. He is best known for his work on
mental causation, the
mind-body problem and the metaphysics of
supervenience and
events. Key themes in his work include: a rejection of
Cartesian metaphysics, the limitations of strict
psychophysical identity,
supervenience, and the
individuation of
events. Kim's work on these and other contemporary
metaphysical and
epistemological issues is well represented by the papers collected in ''Supervenience and Mind: Selected Philosophical Essays'' (1993).
