[MD] The Edge 2006 Annual Question

[ian glendinning]

Scott,

As you know, my problem was not with the word salvation per se, but
with your introduction of it out of left field without any explantory
pre-amble (as I said). Anyway ...

It seems you're not so much abandoning physicalism as claiming to
abandon the need for explanation. That's more significant (to me).
Like, you're spending roughly 10x as many words in this thread
explaning your position as I am - which is ironic.

I too question what makes a good explanation (closely related to
questions of causality too), but I don't say we can abandon them - I
say we work 'em out better. This has nothing to do with physicalism.
