Full Idea
The idea of a ontological supervenience that is robustly explainable in a materialistically explainable way I hereby dub 'superdupervenience'.
Gist of Idea
'Superdupervenience' is supervenience that has a robustly materialistic explanation
Source
Terence Horgan (From Supervenience to Superdupervenience [1993], §4)
Book Ref
-: 'Mind' [-], p.12
A Reaction
[He credits William Lycan with the actual word] His assumption prior to this introduction is that mere supervenience just adds a new mystery. I take supervenience to be an observation of 'tracking', which presumably needs to be explained.
