As well as states and minds (see previous posts), the chapter provisionally called Psychology is gone now too. It was intended to discuss the significance of dual aspect theory and intersubjectivity in psychology, but much of it wasn't really very good, and the general idea seems highly optional now. These days I tend to feel I can leave quite a lot unsaid, leave the implications for others to work out. The one section from that chapter that I'm keeping, Empathy, will fit well in Subjective and Objective (though it might have its name changed, or be merged with another section).
I've decided to commit to inter/subjective realism. It's the most solid possible foundation for my pro-inter/subjectivity stance. And it works well with the anti-reductionism of Patterns, so I won't be tempted to cut another chapter! But it makes a nice slogan too, along with inter/subjective panpsychism.
Here's another nice slogan, though maybe not directly related to the book: Persistence of Vision. I've decided it's what I have to aim for, not so much in philosophy and the book, as in life generally. Almost literally. Attention under will, giving what's really important its due, that kind of thing. Yes, another very nice slogan, if I say so myself.
