Talk:Philosophy of mind

message: Philosophy of mind is a branch of philosophy that studies the ontology and nature of the mind and its relationship with the body. The mind–body problem is a paradigmatic issue in philosophy of mind, although a number of other issues are addressed, such as the hard problem of consciousness and the nature of particular mental states.[1][2][3] Aspects of the mind that are studied include mental events, mental functions, mental properties, consciousness, the ontology of the mind, the nature of thought, and the relationship of the mind to the body. 41.48.167.100 (talk) 08:15, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

message: The section on Psychology reads thusly (italics added in the "Talk" section solely for emphasis there):
"Psychology is the science that investigates mental states directly. It uses generally empirical methods to investigate concrete mental states like joy, fear or obsessions. Psychology investigates the laws that bind these mental states to each other or with inputs and outputs to the human organism.
An example of this is the psychology of perception. Scientists working in this field have discovered general principles of the perception of forms. A law of the psychology of forms says that objects that move in the same direction are perceived as related to each other. This law describes a relation between visual input and mental perceptual states. However, it does not suggest anything about the nature of perceptual states. The laws discovered by psychology are compatible with all the answers to the mind–body problem already described."
I understand that writing the section on psychology would be quite an undertaking, if not impossible to do well. Same with criticism of any attempt. In the least, I must say that the first sentence in these two paragraphs seems a very specific assertion, and the last sentence in these two paragraphs seems overly broad. I cannot reconcile the former and the latter.

replies: text: The article doesn't say they are duals any more. One is a statement about complete quadrilaterals and the other is about quadrangles and these are indeed dual figures.

thread_title:  High end 126 cameras 

message: I am changing the text for scanners because it points to a source for a single scanner. That scanner is currently the most popular scanner on Amazon, but the statements don't hold true for the second most popular scanner on Amazon as of today.  Unless there's evidence that many scanners can deal easily with 126, the text should not make that claim. For slides, any scanner that holds a 35mm slide will hold a 126 slide. But top scanners such as the Epson V600 try to locate a rectangle in the location of each slide, and fail with 126 slides. Although the areas can be selected manually one at a time, "all that is needed" is not necessarily a piece of black paper for many top scanners. It should be doable with any scanner that can deal with 120 film and allows cropping, but it won't necessarily be easy. Hagrinas (talk) 00:12, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Shelob, also known as Krags 

message: I question the statement "Unlike ordinary spiders, she uses a sting [Real spiders instead have chelicerae with fangs to inject venom] to inject her venom and paralyse her victims".  Unlike the movies (which show Shelob with a large stinger), the books don't make any mention of that.  Tolkien _does_ say that she stung Frodo, but in older literature it was common to describe venomous bites as "stings" (including e.g. snake bites).   Tolkien _also_ mentions biting in the same sentence that he mentions stinging: she gathered herself for another spring - this time to crush and sting to death: no little bite of poison to still the struggling of her meat; this time to slay and then to rend" (The Two Towers, p 712).  Earlier in the same paragraph she is described as "her beak dribbling a spittle of venom", which again suggests she uses a venomous bite.  Iapetus (talk) 14:37, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
