Parallelism: is mere doubling. Mentalist terms: are re-interpretable in physical terms - reversedly impossible. Cf. >Identity theory, >Token-Physikalism, >Typ/Token identity. - - - I 456 The physical conditions exist in any case. So why add any additional mental ones? Introspection can then also focus exclusively on physical conditions. A parallel to the body soul problem is the molecular theory. Does this theory reject the familiar solids and instead professes to swarms of molecules? Or does it retain the solids and explain them as consisting of swarms of molecules below the visibility threshold? But here, too, there is really nothing to decide. >Introspection, >Materialism.}, note = { Quine I W.V.O.
