Colin McGinn on Terminology - Dictionary of Arguments
I 22 Definition B-term/McGinn: one for which the question is how its former use was possible. Definition DIME/terminology/McGinn: domesticated irreducible mystic elimination - D: the idea that one must domesticate the term B. - The term presents his subject misleading and exaggerates the ontological peculiarity. I: theory: the term would be irreducible. I 35 M: stands for Magic - accepts the facts of the concept at face value. I 36 E: Elimination: the B-concepts would not be applicable to the world. I 37 Thesis: the Transcendental Naturalism presents (TN) a neglected alternative to domesticated irreducible mystic elimination. I 65 VsDomesticated irreducible mystic elimination: is imprinted on the problem without solving it. I 39 Definiton CAIM/McGinn: combinatorial atomism with lawlike mappings. - According to that a crowd of basic elements obeys given linking principles - E.g. physics, mathematics and linguistics have CAlM (combinatorial atomism with lawlike mappings) character. - New things are explained with linking rules. - McGinn: an indispensable, but unsuitable realization process. I 45 Problem: the contents of the modules (subjects) cannot be applied. I 68 Consciousness is not to be explored by CAlM. I 110 FIN-features (fruitfulness, invulnerability, normativity)/terminology/McGinn: fertility, invulnarability, normativity. Connection with semantics, but not with behavior, brain state, etc. I 166 Transcendental Naturalism asserts that the relationship between consciousness and the brain did exist, but did not correspond to our thinking in form._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
