I know one modern usage of physicalism is that [full in the blank] is dependent on or reduces to the things physics is about. Philosophers seem to define physical properties as the things physics is about. Is Rhythm arguing for some weird version of physicalism?(February 7, 2015 at 10:15 pm)Rhythm Wrote: You disagree with the language.....iow?No, I disagree that the current state of physics actually fits the idea of a geometric space. This is because at least some objects (like the photon) cannot be expressed in geometrical terms, and because mind cannot be directly observed, even though in a physical monist reality, nothing should be unobservable in this way.
