Question

Wet', 'quenches thirst,' and 'is good for bathing,' are all descriptions of what we call water, and are not descriptions of how certain atoms combine to form a molecule. Yet we think of water as the same as H_2 O due to analogy theory. behaviorism. identity theory. functionalist theory. Some philosophers (such as Heidegger, Marx, and Hegel) suspect that the typical emphasis we put on defining ourselves primarily as individuals is quite misleading, because egocentrism means that the concept of the individual is not important in the first place. the truth of the matter is that our idea of 'individual' is in fact created by the society we are born into. we have not been taught to recognize ourselves as individuals. the truth of the matter is that mind-body identity makes this impossible. A dualist is someone who holds that mental events and physical events are the same, and are separate from functionalist events. there are no mental events. mental events and physical events are separate. egocentrism is separate from behaviorism.
