NB: Start time is 1.30pm!
I will argue from various examples that the inaccessibility of As in terms of Bs need not imply that As do not exist, pointing to such conceptual fault-lines involving legal concepts, aesthetic concepts, and meanings of language. We make conceptual jumps when we learn to apply a new vocabulary that cannot be defined in terms we already understand. I hope to throw light on the differences between intentional action and bodily processes and movements.
