Document Summary

I have included some questions that will help you in studying for the exam. I do not guarantee that this review sheet covers all the content that will be on the exam. You should carefully review the slides and the lecture notes. Be able to give examples that illustrate the sort of identity that such a theorist claims holds between mental and brain events (e. g. heat, lightning). Why is this thought (by smart and others) to be a good feature of the view: unity of science conjecture every observable phenomena can ultimately be explained in terms of some set of fundamental physical laws. What is smart"s response: medieval peasant objection an illiterate medieval peasant knew all about pain but didn"t know anything about c-fibers, so pain is not identical to c-fibers. Why is it plausible that replacing one plank does not result in a whole new ship: the greek hero theseus solved the labyrinth, defeated the minotaur, and saved many.
