place goes wrong in treating mind-brain relationship clarifying why identity theory is neither reasonable nor a mere scientific problem in disguise

چکیده
u. t. place claims that philosophical problems concerning the true nature of mind-brain relationship disappears or is settled adhering to materialism, especially type identity theory of mind. he takes above claim as a reasonable scientific hypothesis. i shall argue why it is not as he claims. at first, to pave the way for refutation, i will briefly clarify place's approach to the subject in hand; although the rest of the paper will also contain more details about his position. then, i will reduce his position into four theses and try to prove that the main claim of type identity theory is neither reasonable nor a mere scientific problem in disguise. i think that we ought to regard type identity theory, at most, just as a hypothesis which approximately displays the function of mind-brain relationship but tells us nothing justifiably about its true nature.

The usual conclusion is that people do not really value their privacy as they claim to or that they are irrational about the risks they are taking. Similarly it is generally claimed that ...
متن کاملA Primary Care Panel Size of 2500 Is neither Accurate nor Reasonable.
Primary care panel sizes are an important component of primary care practices. Determining the appropriate panel size has implications for patient access, physician workload, and care comprehensiveness and will have an impact on quality of care. An often quoted standard panel size is 2500. However, this number seems to arise in the literature anecdotally, without a basis in research. Subsequent...
متن کاملA Unified Theory of Mind-Brain Relationship: Is It Possible?
The mind-body relationship has vexed philosophers of mind for quite a long time. Different theories of mind have offered different points of view about the interaction between the two, but none of them seem free of ambiguities and questions. This paper attempts to use a mathematical model for mind-body relationship. The model may generate some questions to think about this relationship from the...
متن کاملWhy Quantum Theory is Possibly Wrong
Quantum theory is a tremendously successful physical theory, but nevertheless suffers from two serious problems: the measurement problem and the problem of interpretational underdetermination. The latter, however, is largely overlooked as a genuine problem of its own. Both problems concern the doctrine of realism, but pull, quite curiously, into opposite directions. The measurement problem can ...
