Franz Brentano on Laws - Dictionary of Arguments
Fodor IV 236 Note 10. Brentano/Fodor: His thesis (the intentional cannot be reduced to neurophysiology) does not imply that there can be no intentional laws. It only tells us that if there are any, they must be irreducible. 11. If they exist, they must surely be ceteris paribus laws. These are special laws in science in general. Cf. >Anomalous monism, >Irreducibility, >Reduction, >Reductionism._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
