The idea of a specific connection in the brain cannot be used as an explanation of the operation, because this connection could also be different. >Idea >Explanation. II 83 Def Presentation/McGinn: An idea is nothing more than a set of properties that we ascribe to a thing. >Presentation. II 144 Space/McGinn: It is an even more radical approach than the above conceivable: namely, that we are completely wrong with our idea of what is actually space. "Space" is for us only a label for something out there, it does not carry a substantive statement about the properties of the medium named by it. The mind does not have length and width. We only perceive the room through the senses, but that says nothing about how it really is. >Space.}, note = { McGinn I Colin McGinn Problems in Philosophy.
