- W55063564 abstract "The main thesis of this essay is the claim that it is conceivable that one can empirically test the psycho-physical identity theory. The dialectical target of the essay is Jaegwon Kim’s contention that “There is no conceivable observation that would confirm or refute the identity but not the associated correlation.” (American Philosophical Quarterly, 1966, 227–228). In an essay “The Logic of the Identity Theory” Richard Brandt and Jaegwon Kim offered a criterion for event identity, which I employ in making a case for the empirical testability of the identity theory. Employing a second level version of W.V.O. Quine’s axiom of identity, I demonstrate how one can test the event identity, without having any bearing upon the associated psycho-physical correlation. The argument essentially turns upon the issue of second-order properties, i.e., upon the question of whether two allegedly identical properties both share all of their second-order properties. In the concluding section of the essay a distinction is made between two theses (K1) It is conceivable that there are observations that would test a thesis of psycho-physical identity, but not test the associated psycho-physical correlation statement.” And (K2) There are conceivable observations which would test a thesis of psych-physical identity, but not test the associated psycho-physical correlation statement. By the end of the essay a defense has been offered of not just (K1), but also of (K2) as well." @default.
