Mendelow On Russellian Monism and Absolutely Intrinsic Properties
According to Russellian monism, there are non-structural properties that both underlie physical, structural properties and help constitute, and thus necessitate, phenomenal properties (Alter and Pereboom Citation2023). Derk Pereboom (Citation2011, Citation2014, Citation2015, Citation2019) characterizes the relevant non-structural properties as absolutely intrinsic properties, where ‘P is an absolutely intrinsic property of X just in case P is an …
Physicalism, Infinite Decomposition, and Constitution
Physicalism and fundamental mentality
Russellian Monism and Structuralism About Physics
Philosophy of Mind
Imaginative cases, or what might be called puzzles and other thought experiments, play a central role in philosophy of mind. The real world also furnishes philosophers with an ample supply of such puzzles. This volume collects 50 of the most important historical and contemporary cases in philosophy of mind and describes their significance. The authors divide them into five sections: consciousness and dualism; physicalist theories and the metaphys…

Does the Ignorance Hypothesis Undermine the Conceivability and Knowledge Arguments

What is the nature of consciousness? How is consciousness related to brain processes? This book discusses these topics. All chapters focus on consciousness in the “phenomenal” sense: looking at what it's like to have an experience. Consciousness has long been regarded as the biggest stumbling block for physicalism, the view that the mind is physical. This controversy has gained focus over the last few decades, and phenomenal knowledge and phenome…

Know‐How, Ability, and the Ability Hypothesis
Vague Names and Vague Objects
Michael Tye soutient que certains noms sont vagues parce qu'ils réfèrent à des objets vagues. Tye, cependant, ne distingue pas entre référer à un objet vague et référer vaguement. Je suggère, à partir de certaines suppositions, que les noms vagues doivent référer vaguement. Et si les noms vagues doivent référer vaguement, alors l'argument de Tye échoue, puisque des noms qui réfèrent à des objets vagues n'ont pas besoin de référer vaguement. Néanm…
