15. Nature of Minds / A. Nature of Mind / 1. Mind / a. Mind

3960	There are no such things as minds, but people have mental properties [Davidson]
	Full Idea: There are no such things as minds, but people have mental properties.
	From: Donald Davidson (Davidson on himself [1994], p.231)
	A reaction: I think this is right. It fits with Searle's notion of consciousness as a property, like the liquidity of water. I don't panic if I think "I have no mind, but I have extraordinary properties".
