    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Global supervenience entails strong supervenience when the B-properties include all relational and world-indexed properties, not just intrinsic ones.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The counterexample worlds exploit an artificially restricted base of B-properties that no serious physicalist would actually endorse as complete.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Kim's own formulation of strong supervenience already accommodates relational properties, collapsing the alleged gap when the base is properly specified.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Paull and Sider (1992) demonstrated that under standard mereological assumptions, global supervenience and strong supervenience are provably equivalent.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The isolation principle generates genuine counterexamples to strong supervenience only by presupposing haecceitism, which independently undermines the modal framework required for the distinction.

    This pair of worlds shows that A does not strongly supervene on B. And the principle of isolation cannot be applied to generate a counterexample to global supervenience. An isolated duplicate of a would be both A- and B-indiscernible from c (an isolated duplicate of a would not have M). Consequently, Paull and Sider concluded that global and strong supervenience are not equivalent. (1992, 841).
