Metzinger II 719
"Thinking stones"/Birnbacher: for them we have no criterion.
>Consciousness, >Thinking, >Brain.
Metzinger II 720
Def Criterion/Wittgenstein: "good reasons" to support a hypothesis. Separated from "symptoms".
>Symptoms.
Birnbacher: Criteria are not strictly logically linked to the term whose fullfilment they indicate, but in the weaker sense of the language game community.
>Language game, >Language community.
According to Wittgenstein, criteria are not necessary conditions for existence, but they are necessary conditions for attributability.
>Attribution.
For example, conduct is not a necessary condition of the occurrence of certain internal states, but nevertheless a necessary condition of the attributability of such states.
>Behavior, cf. >Supervenience, >Sufficiency.
Metzinger II 720
Def Symptom/Wittgenstein: empirical correlate to the criteria.
