Abstract :
[en] This paper reconstructs the way in which C.D. Broad addresses the problem of the relation between mind and matter. The following argument for emergentism about mentality is briefly introduced and discussed against the background of the monism-dualism debate: (1) the attribute of mentality is either (i) differentiating or (ii) delusive or (iii) reductive or (iv) emergent, (2) it is not differentiating, (3) it is not delusive, (3) it is not reductive, (4) therefore, the attribute of mentality is emergent.
