10688 'Equivocation' is when terms do not mean the same thing in premises and conclusion [Beall/Restall]

6548 Physicalism requires the naturalisation or rejection of set theory [Lycan]
     Full Idea: Eventually set theory will have to be either naturalised or rejected, if a thoroughgoing physicalism is to be maintained.
     From: William Lycan (Consciousness [1987], 8.4)
     A reaction: Personally I regard Platonism as a form of naturalism (though a rather bold and dramatic one). The central issue seems to be the ability of the human main/brain to form 'abstract' notions about the physical world in which it lives.
