I'm ...Thanks, Bryce! That's quite helpful.<br /><br />I'm thinking about this stuff right now because my paper, "Supervenience and Neuroscience," got accepted by Synthese, and I have till xmas of this year to make any revisions. One line of thought I develop in that paper is against group minds, and I'd like to have additional citations of pro-group-mind peeps, especially those who have explicitly endorsed functionalism/multi-realizability.<br /><br />Anyway, I'd love to see anything of your own along these lines, if you'd be comfortable with shooting it my way.<br /><br />Cheers!Pete Mandikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952230864825600992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011259550074300139.post-31000849714632572822009-11-17T16:54:58.470-05:002009-11-17T16:54:58.470-05:00sorry for all of the weird typos...my browser does...sorry for all of the weird typos...my browser does not appear to be interfacing well with this blog.<br /><br />brycebrycehttp://explore.georgetown.edu/people/lbh24/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011259550074300139.post-19552373585558438412009-11-17T16:44:46.581-05:002009-11-17T16:44:46.581-05:00Pete,

I have one paper on group minds that came out in philosophical psychology a couple of years back, and another thing that is currently under review--but niether of these explicitly address Block. I have a brief bit about Block in a chapter of the MS, but I'm not sure how much new ground that bit covers.<br /><br />The two best arguments, to my kowledge, that explicitly address Block's arguments are Bill Lycan's argument against Block in *Consciousness* and the DHM Brooks article calle "Group minds" that came out in AJP (?) in the early 80s (?).<br /><br />Are you planning on doing some work on the topic (I thought quite a bit about one of your arguments that looked to bear on group minds a while back, but I haven't written anything in response)...Bryce Huebnerhttp://explore.georgetown.edu/people/lbh24/noreply@blogger.com
