By the end of Physicalism, Or Something Near Enough, Kim arrives at the view that all mental properties except qualia are reducible. Qualia, because they cannot be functionalized, resist reduction. Kim’s view is meant to be “near enough” to physicalism in that the cognitive and the intentional (but not the qualitative) are physically reducible. Kim is particularly interested in arriving at a view of the mental that saves most of our intuitions about causal efficacy. To this end, he claims that in addition to the cognitive/intentional, the differences and similarities among qualia (but not their intrinsic characters) are functionalizable and “can enjoy causal powers as full members of the physical world”. But I am not convinced that this is a tenable position, nor that it is near enough to physicalism to satisfy our central intuitions of causal efficacy. [......]
