Jaegwon Kim (12 September 1934 – 27 November 2019) was a Korean-American philosopher best known for his work on mental causation, the mind-body problem, and the metaphysics of supervenience and events. Jaegwoon Kim was an emeritus professor at Brown University, but also taught at several other leading American universities. He is best known for his work on mental causation, the mind-body problem and the metaphysics of supervenience and events. Key themes in his work include: a rejection of Cartesian metaphysics, the limitations of strict psychophysical identity, supervenience, and the individuation of events. Kim's work on these and other contemporary metaphysical and epistemological issues is well represented by the papers collected in Supervenience and Mind: Selected Philosophical Essays (1993).
