Brief History of the Soul, ch. 5
This chapter considers the causal relationship between the body and soul. Goetz and Taliaferro take a more direct and argumentative approach to this section seeking to defend the causal relationship. They give cogent argument to Kim as well as other authors who would disagree. Most potent is their argument from property/event dualism. They even go so far as to use popular atheist Thomas Nagel to make their point (though they nuance his position). This was a helpful chapter though I do not see how anyone could doubt the causal relationship between body and soul.
