I don’t normally post up drafts of papers, but this one might be of interest to some regulars. It is a reply to Bechtel and Mundale’s 1999 Philosophy of Science paper. Neuroscience & Multiple Realization. Comments welcome. I think it’s still a little rough, especially the section on the “grain problem”.
FYI, there is also the following discussion of the Bechtel and Mundale 1999 paper:
Kim, Sungsu (2002). “Testing Multiple Realizability: A Discussion of Bechtel and Mundale”, Philosophy of Science, 69.
Couch, Mark (2004). “Discussion: A Defense of Bechtel and Mundale.” Philosophy of Science 71: 198–204.
