I've never understood "category error" [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_mistake ]. (Some philosopher I read about recently gave a talk on the non-existence of category errors. Good.) *Is 333's oddness timeless? *is a perfectly reasonable question. To the immaterialist, the answer could be "yes". To the materialist, the answer could not be "no". It all depends. There is a type of dualists who say 333 is one category (nonphysical) and time (as in spacetime) is in another category (physical), but this dualism is just mixed-up confusion to me. Gilbert Ryle's initial rendition of "category error" (about mind) stands in contradiction to Galen Strawson on that topic. - pt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
