Abstract
This paper has three objectives: (i) arguing against levels of reality by employing the Lewis-Jackson method for doing metaphysics, also known as the Canberra plan; (ii) showing how this method renders the idea of levels of reality incoherent, but nevertheless leaves the conceptual space open for dualism; (iii) sketching out a concrete proposal for a dualism of mind and matter that relies on normativity and that employs ontic structural realism.
