Midgley and Eliminative Materialism

I think there are two related issues here: First, I understood the implications synthetic biology for Midgley's arguments about biology, but it is not clear that these same implications carry through to the question of reducing some mental processes to neural substrates (or even eliminating them). As a practicing cognitive neuroscientist, I would hope that we can one day attain the sucess in neuroscience that they have in biology (and therefore prove Midgley wrong), but it is not necessarily a given. Second, and far more importantly for wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you and I can't even say that synthetic biology has the implications it clearly does for Midgley's theory unless some reliable source already says that it does. That is, if no one else makes the link between synthetic biology and Midgely, in a published article, if you or I were to say this, it would be considered as original research since we would be gathering sources to advance a position. If there is another practicing philosopher who has made the counter-argument in print (say, for example, in Paul Churchland's most recent book, which I haven't had a chance to read yet) then we can cite them, and explain how this works against Midgley, but we can't make the (rather obvious) point that synthetic biology questions Midgley's arguments about biology, nor can we make the (less obvious) point that this carries through to EM. Personally, I agree with you. As an editor on wikipedia, though, until someone else says so, I wouldn't support including the material about synesthetic biology.

Synthetic biology is magnificent. So much for emergentism about life. Is it done?--Francesco Franco (talk) 12:06, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Logical Positivism

All I did was change early to late. Sorry anyway. 84.203.181.35 (talk) 08:23, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I know, and I was suspicious because you are already accused for a number of other vandalisms. Stampit (talk) 02:04, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Quine image to Commons

Hey Stampit. I noticed that the current image of Willard Van Orman Quine was uploaded by you after you got written permission to do so. I was wondering if you would be so kind as to upload it to Commons so that we can use it in other projects. In particular, I am looking forward to adding the image to the Spanish and German version of the article. Thanks for your attention. --Felipe (talk) 13:11, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
