A general response.

Note the passage you quote was given as an objection to Rödl. — Wayfarer

Sure.

“Banno goes PoMo”. — Wayfarer

:wink: Never gonna happen.

I had in mind the revelation that some folk do not have an inner monologue, and the lesson that it is not safe to assume that other folk have a similar mental world to oneself. That Ródl has a certain mental life does not imply that everyone else has the same, nor that they ought.

The point is methodological, and perhaps cut to the phenomenological basis of this thread.

I dare say not - isn’t it rather an example of ‘psychologism’, the contention that logical functions can be reduced to psychological factors?

Not so much.

It's rather that given a conflict of evidence concerning mental life, whaat process can we employ in order to settle our differences?

Not unlike The Dress, it's not that those who saw it as blue/black were wrong - that is indeed what they see. And the colour of the actual dress.

Relating this back to the OP, what grounds is there for insisting that Pat is wrong in how she understands her own experience?

It's a good question, and is addressed in the sections of Chapter 3 I'm now reading, specifically 3.2 Removal of Obstacles.

See PM. Set it out, if it makes sense for you.

I’m working on it. More later.
