The argument for physicalism regarding mental causation consists of four premises: 1. Physical causal closure (every physical effect has a sufficient physical cause), 2. Non-epiphenomenalism (conscious states have physical effects), 3. Non-overdetermination (physical effects of conscious states do not have more than one sufficient cause), and 4. Physicalism (conscious states are physical).
