Abstract objects: Platonism or nominalism? not Platonism. don’t know if the other is simply the opposite or a separate claim.
Aesthetic value: objective or subjective? subjective
Analytic-synthetic distinction: yes or no? leaning no based on a brief reading of the literature
Epistemic justification: internalism or externalism? don’t know.
External world: idealism, skepticism, or non-skeptical realism? non-skeptical realism
Free will: compatibilism, libertarianism, or no free will? compatibilism, I guess.
God: theism or atheism? atheism
Knowledge: empiricism or rationalism? empiricism
Knowledge claims: contextualism, relativism, or invariantism? contextualism
Laws of nature: Humean or non-Humean? non-Humean (examples in favor of this were numerous on the page defining it), but it doesn’t really matter. I’m not even sure the actual laws upon which the universe runs are expressible within it, we might only be able to asymptotically approach them.
Logic: classical or non-classical? classical
Mental content: internalism or externalism? externalism
Meta-ethics: moral realism or moral anti-realism? moral anti-realism
Metaphilosophy: naturalism or non-naturalism? naturalism
Mind: physicalism or non-physicalism? physicalism
Moral judgment: cognitivism or non-cognitivism? don’t know.
Moral motivation: internalism or externalism? externalism
Newcomb’s problem: one box or two boxes? I am committed to one-boxing. (You hear that Omega!?)
Normative ethics: deontology, consequentialism, or virtue ethics? consequentialism
Perceptual experience: disjunctivism, qualia theory, representationalism, or sense-datum theory? Whichever one Dennet espouses. not sure which of these that is.
Personal identity: biological view, psychological view, or further-fact view? I think it would be psychological view? If it thinks and acts indistinguishably from me, it is me.
Politics: communitarianism, egalitarianism, or libertarianism? libertarianism kinda.
Proper names: Fregean or Millian? don’t care.
Science: scientific realism or scientific anti-realism? scientific realism mostly
Teletransporter (new matter): survival or death? survival-see personal identity
Time: A-theory or B-theory? both of these are stupid. The jury’s out on whether physics is timeless, but in the meantime, I understand and can utilize special relativity(and perhaps general soon), which is an entirely sufficient description.
Trolley problem (five straight ahead, one on side track, turn requires switching, what ought one do?): switch or don’t switch? switch. I take the consequentialist view(whichever action kills the least people) on all the trolley problems, despite some internal disquietude.
Truth: correspondence, deflationary, or epistemic? correspondence I think? not clear on the terms
Zombies: inconceivable, conceivable but not metaphysically possible, or metaphysically possible? inconcievable!
A priori knowledge: yes or no? no.
