Abstract: (2003 Views)
Distinguishing between mental and non-mental phenomena requires clear marks. This article examines one perspective on the marks of the mental phenomena. Tuomas K. Pernu offers a cluster approach to identifying the marks of the mental phenomena. To differentiate between mental and physical phenomena, which serves as his guide in identifying mental characteristics, Pernu introduces the notions of intentionality, consciousness, free will, teleology, and normativity. After presenting Pernu’s view, this article critically examines his approach. The relationship of this perspective to essentialistic investigations of the mind is assessed, and several questions and critiques regarding his view are raised and addressed. Pernu’s proposed list is deemed incomplete. Furthermore, the article examines how the last three marks on Pernu’s list can be understood :as char:acteristics of mental phenomena. Finally, a methodological proposal is presented to refine the process of discovering the features of mental states.
Keywords: Marks of the Mental Phenomena, Physical Phenomena, Philosophy of Mind, Intentionality, Consciousness, Free Will, Tuomas Pernu
