- W2080780095 abstract "The antireductionist arguments of many philosophers for example, Fodor and Davidson, are motivated by a worry that successful reduction (whatever that would be) would eliminate rather than conserve or explain the mental. This worry derives from an misunderstanding of the classic deductive-nomological empiricist account of reduction. Although this account does not, in fact, underwrite cognitive suicide, it should be rejected as positivist baggage. Philosophy of psychology and mind needs to have more detailed attention to issues of reduction on philosophy of sciences and natural scientific analogies that serve as models for reduction. I consider a range of central cases often considered, such was water and H2O, genes and DNA, and common sense versus scientific solidity. The last case is illuminated by Sir Arthur Eddington's Two Tables Paradox, a solution that suggests the plasticity of the mental under reduction. To be quite clear, I do not argue for reduction of the mental, but discuss what it would involve if it were to occur. If the reduction of the mental was like any of the cases considered, it would be neither empiricist nor eliminative." @default.
