Ashish Dalela...concepts have three fundamental properties–contextuality, intentionality, and abstraction–which independent things do not. To produce a mental world from the physical world, the physical world must first explain how contextuality, intentionality, and abstraction can arise.
About This Quote
The world of ideas is an integral part of the physical world. It is not separate from it. And, like the physical world, ideas are also contextual. They are also intentional and abstract. It is important to remember that all of these properties are common to both the physical world and the mental world.
