Talk:Mind projection fallacy

Did Kant know about this?

Just read a text that maybe shows that Kant saw at least an instance of the Mind Projection Fallacy. Text below:

• Kant identifies transcendental illusion with the propensity to “take a subjective necessity of a connection of our concepts…for an objective necessity in the determination of things in themselves” (A297/B354). Source:Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

Maybe it's worth putting some info about this in the article. Rhalah (talk) 15:53, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Fallacy vs. Mistake

There is a long, though hardly proud, tradition centering on some strands in philosophy that finds it reasonable to identify a disliked position, and then attribute the formulation of the position not to a mistake, but to a fallacy. There is a not-so-subtle difference between mistakes and fallacies.

In this particular case, the notion that the world is as one perceives it (or perhaps more perspicuously: that something real in some sense serves as a substrate for any of one's experiences) is a position held by some reasonable philosophers. They may or may not be right. But if they've committed a fallacy, discussion is over: they cannot be right. This is the problem with proliferating "fallacies." Unless someone objects, I think this page ought to be edited to include something to the effect that this isn't a fallacy in any classical sense, and calling it a fallacy is controversial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manwithoutabroom (talk • contribs) 21:04, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Back Link?

Should Jaynes' bio page contain a link to here? -A.St.V. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.68.20.124 (talk) 01:02, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
