Abstract
In this chapter, I will use the EDWs perspective to analyze different notions from the philosophy of mind produced within the most powerful and dominant old paradigm in the history of human thought, the ‘unicorn-world’. Due to the paradigm of the unicorn-world, the major problems in the philosophy of mind are in fact pseudo-problems. In this chapter I will analyze some notions (levels vs. reduction, emergence) which involve the main directions in the philosophy of mind: dualism, identity theory, eliminativist materialism, and non-reductive physicalism.
