Abstract
Physicalists are committed to holding that the physical necessitates everything else which is the case. If physicalism is true of our world, the physical nature of our world fully determines where the shopping centres are and which ones are the biggest, what you and I are feeling and thinking, the current rate of infl ation, and so on. The details are controversial but the basic idea is not.
