mysterianism
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Senses: examples: text: The latter contention may be motivated in one of two ways: either by appeal to positively characterized and seemingly conflictive features of the mental and the physical (in which case we might always reject dualism in favor of a materialist mysterianism such as McGinn’s 1999 ), or simply by failing to characterize positively the relevant domain of non-mental entities with which mentality is in need of reconciliation.

coinstantiation
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: ipa: /ˌkoʊɪnˌstænʃiˈeɪʃən/
rhymes: -eɪʃən
Forms: form: coinstantiations
Etymology: From co- + instantiation.
Senses: examples: text: Edward MacNeal was pointing out the ubiquity of coinstantiation in daily life when he explained regarding apples and oranges (both literal and proverbial) that "we must feel free to redefine apples and oranges as fruit, missiles, paperweights, or theatrical props as suits our changing needs; then we can observe the rules of addition and have the result make sense."
text: In other words, the qualitative nature or content of a property determines its logic, which in turn logically determines the properties with which it can be coinstantiated or be compossible. Considered purely logically, the totality of compossibilities of a particular property—the totality of possible coinstantiations with other properties—may be called the logical form of that property. It should also be noted that while the logical form of a property allows for its coinstantiation with a whole host of other properties, it does not allow for coinstantiation with more than one property of a particular type at any one time. Such multiple coinstantiation is excluded as a matter of logic. For instance, and continuing with the preceding example, while the property green may be coinstantiated with the properties soft and hard respectively, it cannot be coinstantiated with each of these at one and the same time because the one logically excludes the other.
