Re: Completing the Revolution
by Scott Bakker on Friday March 14, @08:35AM
We're pretty much of one mind then. My hunch is that semantics will always elude functional explanation, which is to say, always elude science. I look forward to discussing this at Ad Astra! But I'm not sure your 'triviality' argument (that the 'semantic dilemma' is simply the cost of doing science) against my complaint has much bite. The dilemma is particularly piquant in cognitive science, where many, and certainly all of the most interesting, explananda, involve the intentional phenomena of experience. Certainly this alters the stakes - and stability - of Lakoff's claim, no?
