Talk:Mental property

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've reverted the page. It is unclear as to what exactly "psychobabbble" means, and why what was posted on the page counts as "psychobabbble", and why "psychobabble" should not be on a page about mental properties. Care to clarify?

Weasel wording

[edit]

I'm going to add the "weasel" banner on this page. Here are a few reasons why.

  • It is claimed that mental properties are studied by sciences and parasciences. Then it is claimed that "philosophy of mind", which is neither science nor parascience, also studies mental properties.
  • The article states that the third approach is the "most universal research." I believe this shows a clear bias.
  • Undue emphasis is placed on systemics. Mental properties have been the subject of study by many other disciplines for a lot longer than systemics has been around.

I can provide more reasons - feel free to ask me - but I believe these to be sufficient. I do intend to help improve this article, so please do not see this as a "hit and run." D15724C710N (talkcontribs) 07:55, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the wording which will address the concerns above and also the authors original intention is: "The third is the most recent area of research". Then I propose that the weasel-wording dispute tag can be removed. Good luck to all those intending to improve the article - surely just one REF can be found?!
