Do facts about consciousness and free will conflict with the hypothesis that we are completely physical beings? We will first assess the two most influential arguments for the impossibility of a physical account of the consciousness: the knowledge and conceivability arguments. We will then use these assessments to evaluate a number of possible positions in the ontology of mind. Is the best physicalism eliminativist, reductionist, or anti-reductionist? Is the best anti-physicalism substance dualist, property dualist, idealist, Russellian monist, or panpsychist? Lastly, we will consider the consequences that physicalism has for the claim that we have free will.
