(a)  

Divisibility argument uses what law to make its claim that mind and body are separate substances

(a)  

Who claimed: "Nature of consciousness is misunderstood by chalmers. He can perceive of this zombie because he does not understand the mind"

(a)  

Who came up with the Mary Argument for property dualism?

(a)  

Who claims: "We can not conceive of someone knowing everything about colour because we do not have a true handle of what that would be like. We can not use Mary's knowledge to argue anything because we can not comprehend it."

(a)  

The claim: - It is not a new fact obtained by Mary but rather ability knowledge (a new ability) Not a new fact regarding the world; a physical knowledge of how to physically perceive something -

• -

• What is this hypothesis called?

What is the ability hypothesis used against the Mary argument?

Who argues against the "Official doctrine"; in other words against the way dualism originally defined the mind as it creates the mind-body problem

(a)

Fill in the missing parts of Gilbert Ryle's claims: "The mind is no ghost in the machine, no secret or ghostly sort of thing. To say the mind is like that is to commit a (a)   "

Mistakenly categorising something incorrectly like a letter "B" being something that contains mass so questions like "how much does the letter B weigh?" come forward with no answer because it has been categorised wrong

• -

• What is this mistaker referred to as?

Confusing a concept for another, like a letter "B" being something that contains mass so questions like "how much does the letter B weigh?" come forward with no answer because it has been categorised wrong. The concept "B" has been confused with something that contains mass

• -

• What is this mistaker referred to as?

Who claims: "Descartes confuses the mind for something it is not hence the questions and problems derived from it are all fundamentally flawed

(a)  

Problems with behaviourism include: Two responses from Hilary Putnam (Name one)

(a)  

The same mental state can be expressed through so many different behaviours

• -

• Who came up with this as an issue for behaviourism

The same mental state can be expressed through so many different behaviours

• -

• What is this problem for behaviourism called?

Eliminative materialism - Churchlands

What problem did the Churchlands have with the other suggestions including Dualism?

(a)  

Eliminative materialism: "We assume we have a common understanding of pain but we don't. Using concepts like belief, fear, thought etc is problematic as they don't refer to anything specific and can't be used to argue mental state"

• -

• This is called what?

Who argued for the beetle box (limits of language)

(a)  

Wittgenstein: "If terms didn't have meaning we would not be able to even understand our own mental state. We must share meanings otherwise we end up with the beetle situation. Came from other consciousness"

• -

• What is the beetle argument called

Who points out the problem of Inverted spectrum as a problem with Qualia?

(a)  

A problem with behaviourism is asymmetry between self and other knowledge: in other words there is a difference between qualia of pain and seeing the behaviour of pain. I do not feel the same when I stub my toe compared to seeing the behaviour of someone stubbing their toe. I would not claim I am pain because I said ouch. I am in pain because of the feeling not the behaviour hence there is an asymmetry between them

• -

• Type any highlighted key word below (Make sure you understand asymmetry of self as a problem for behaviourism)

The mind contains thought and thought is understood through language yet according to (a)   language can not exist without others, as it is others who give the language meaning, hence a mind separate and distinct from the interactions of others is impossible to understand through our language.

• Who claimed language couldn't have existed without others?
