  1. Define Broad's terms "animate" and "Two-sided Interaction."
  2. Why is it crucial to the mind-body problem that "causation does not simply mean concomitant variation" (244)?
  3. Broad thinks that "pepper causes sneezing" and "willing your arm to move causes your arm to move." He grants that one of those two causal laws is subject to Humean skepticism, but argues that the other is not. Which is which, and why?
  4. Broad thinks that denying that the body acts on the mind has consequences far more implausible than accepting it, but that denying that the mind acts on the body faces no such obstacle. Explain.
