Philosophy Test 4

Front 1

universe

Back 1

encompasses everything that exists

Front 2

possibility

Back 2

could happen in the future

Front 3

qualia

Back 3

a feeling property

Front 4

qualia inversion

Back 4

identical to you but their experiences are slightly different

Front 5

zombie version of a non-zombie

Back 5

something without any consciousness-doesn't know what it's like to be that thing. Physically identical, but doesn't have any consciousness at all

Front 6

Blind-sight

Back 6

no visual experiences. Like a blind person, except their eyes work and they can discriminate environment mentally but they cannot see it physically and can't experience it
EX: you ask what is in my hand and they guess a pencil even though they can't see it

Front 7

Completed Physics

Back 7

Done. No more questions asked. No more unanswered questions. Currently we don't have a completed physics, in principle there is a completed physics it exists even though we may never find it

Front 8

Physicalism/materialism

Back 8

everything has matter. Must be implied by physical truths

Front 9

The view of science as "dispositional all the way down"

Back 9

Kid would look at a piece of paper and say that's a piece of paper, then you look at it under a microscope and analyze it all the way down to see its made out of electrons. If you describe all the things it has you can say where its going to go

Front 10

The philosophy of the mind- the problem of integration

Back 10

trying to fit consciousness into the natural world

Front 11

panprotopsychism, russian monism

Back 11

everywhere there's something each particle doesnt have a mind, but if they are in the right combo they would. In the right arrangement there is consciousness.

Front 12

Epiphenomenalism

Back 12

casual influence from the physical to the mental but not visa versa. Consciousness gets caused but doesn't cause anything in return

Front 13

Maxtrix

Back 13

can seem like you are walking around the world having real experiences and a life, but your body is really in a capsule and you are standing straight up

Front 14

5 minutes hypothesis

Back 14

the beginning of the universe was 5 minutes ago

Front 15

How to explain the regularities of experience

Back 15

If you don't say there is a physical world to account for your experiences of say being in the philosophy classroom or seeing Grindeland then what are your options? God gives you the experiences down to every last detail. Based on our desires, he would decide what experiences to give us.

Front 16

In Anti-materialist arguments: the epistemic step an the metaphysical step

Back 16

Epistemic step: what seems conceivable to me
Metaphysical: what they infer from the conception about what is possible and what is real

Front 17

Decartes's Conceivability argument

Back 17

body exists without the mind and mind exists without the body. Since God can seperate mind from body they are seperable. Clearly and distinctly conceive of it therefore it is possible that one can exist without the other. They aren;t the same thing if they can be separated because it can't exist without itself if it's the same thing.

Front 18

Jackson's knowledge argument (AKA the Mary Argument)

Back 18

the color red and experience. If not all facts are implied by physical facts then physicalism is false.

Front 19

Objection to Jackson's knowledge argument: the ability hypothesis

Back 19

she doesn't learn any new facts or truths or information she just acquires the ability

Front 20

Objection to anti-materialist arguments: we don't know the completed physics

Back 20

If you don't know the completed physics then its none of your business to infer possibility if you don't know what the completed physics will look like--you can't say what is implied by it.

Front 21

David Chalmer's 2D argument 1- and 2- intension

Back 21

EX: WATER
1 intension collapses possibilites down to the watery stuff not committing yourself to a certain specific class of particle arrangements. 2- intension collapses down further.. such as if it is water then youre saying it is H2O (circles)

Front 22

2D argument conclusion

Back 22

either materialism is false or Russellian monism is true
