Vallicella on the ontology of the mental. I’ve been more sympathetic to the property-dualist point of view that see there are proto-mental properties in the physical that emerge into the mental when in the proper composition and structure. However there’s a lot to think about in Vallicella’s comments. It’s not quite Davidson and not quite dualism and perhaps somewhat similar to Peirce. The difference is the nature of the mental.
