dc.description.abstract	According to Jaegwon Kim, Donald Davidson's Anomalous Monism does not qualify as a physicalist theory. Kim says that Davidson's supervenience relation and his token-identity thesis do not suffice for making all events physical; something required for physicalism. In this thesis I refute Kim's criticism, and show that Davidson's supervenience relation does allow to make all events physical. Kim has misunderstood Davidson's event-theory, while it is precisely this that allows Anomalous Monism to be a physicalism.
