| 24478 | Methodology can't skew results if multiple evidence converges [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24470 | Abstract reasoning is rooted in the sensorimotor inferences of the body [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24501 | Dupré sees all organisms as processes, not entities [Dupré, by Chirimuuta] |
| 24477 | We mostly categorise by engagement with the world [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24466 | The traditional view is that nature has a unique category structure [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24484 | Theories seem intuitive because they are based on metaphors embedded in a culture [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24492 | Science consists entirely of conceptually moulding nature to suit human purposes [Chirimuuta] |
| 24505 | For empiricists, machines with huge data could become better scientists than humans [Chirimuuta] |
| 24493 | Idealised modelling is better seen as mathematised simplification [Chirimuuta] |
| 24491 | Perspectival pluralism says varied simplifications produce diverse descriptions of things [Chirimuuta] |
| 24504 | With big data, models no longer extrapolate from a sample, but mould onto the given data [Chirimuuta] |
| 24487 | To build theories and models, individuality must be blurred out in categorisation [Chirimuuta] |
| 24490 | In science we cannoy distinguish the contribution of the knower from what is known [Chirimuuta] |
| 24497 | The more detailed a causal explanation is, the less it can be generalised [Chirimuuta] |
| 24488 | Reduction gets stuck when the isolated individuals can't explain the collective [Chirimuuta] |
| 24485 | The brain has 170 billion cells, with more in spine and intestines [Chirimuuta] |
| 24486 | Each brain synapse contains around 2,500 types of protein [Chirimuuta] |
| 24489 | Seeing brains as infinitely complex makes more sense than seeing them as simple [Chirimuuta] |
| 24495 | Brain research should reject sharp boundaries, excessive simplification, and neglect of animals [Chirimuuta] |
| 24500 | Brains largely retain the same set of neurons throughout life [Chirimuuta] |
| 24502 | The brain is endlessly complex, and hence is not knowable by us [Chirimuuta] |
| 24471 | Conceptual metaphors project our basic experience, and thus create abstract reasoning [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24476 | We can't know our own minds, because most thought is unconscious [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24482 | The Subject is the focus of living, and the Selves are related images [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24467 | Traditionally, free will is implied by dualism, and needs reason to be fully conscious [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24494 | Computationalism separates function from background, neglecting the latter's complexity [Chirimuuta] |
| 24496 | If mental life is seen as 'emergent' from the brain, why not emergent from the whole organism? [Chirimuuta] |
| 24472 | Most human thought is non-conscious [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24475 | We are largely unaware of how we reason [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24468 | If the mind is radically free it is beyond both causal laws and scientific study [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24473 | Our conceptual systems are mostly unconscious, and thus hard to change [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24469 | All of our concepts arise from our bodily perceptual and motor systems [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24479 | Conceptual metaphors connect the inferential structures of two domains [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24465 | Sentence meaning determines its truth-value in various situations [Lewis] |
| 24480 | Metaphors project inference patterns, so much reasoning is metaphorical [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24474 | Moral systems are based on various models of family life [Lakoff/Johnson] |
| 24483 | Virtue is the moral strength to fulfil duty, and arises from reason [Kant] |
| 24498 | 'Process theory' says a causal event must trnsmit some kind of 'mark' [Salmon, by Chirimuuta] |
| 24499 | X is causally linked to Y if interventions on X, even if remote, affect Y [Woodward,J, by Chirimuuta] |
| 24503 | The general theory of energy started with steam engines, followed by Carnot's theory of them [Chirimuuta] |
| 24481 | Our sense of time may arise from regular brain pulses [Lakoff/Johnson] |
