This philosopher imagined playing a game about the philosophy of mind with his aunt and uncle on a rainy day in a paper subtitled “The Intelligent Auntie’s Vade-Mecum (“VAY-dee MEE-kum”).” This philosopher coined the term “vertical faculties” to describe the phrenologist Franz Joseph Gall’s account of mental structure. Despite accepting the “generality of physics,” this philosopher argued in a 1974 paper that, because of multiple realizability, the “special sciences” do not reduce to physics. This philosopher argued against a so-called “massive” extension of one of his main ideas in a book whose title is a rebuke to Steven Pinker, called The Mind Doesn’t Work That Way. A 1983 book by this philosopher argues that the mind includes domain-specific, innate “organs” such as the language faculty.
