First of all, that would be property dualism, not substance dualism; property dualism is less controversial (in the sense that Descartes went with full-blown substance dualism, and screwed things up.) And second of all, I don't think this is dualism. It's maybe some or other kind of functionalism[1], or something else, or whatever; but not dualism. And it's not Penrose-style "something something consciousness and quantum mechanics" voodoo. [1]: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/functionalism/ http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/functionalism/
