mc5 - King AVMA the III

[CdM] The thing itself is linked to one of the senses, but that link plays no part in the AOTC.

A person with two legs?

[R] Legs not involved.

Is the AOTC a single word (articles aside)?

[T] Not a single word.

I think the ABSTRACT connection has been neglected.

Is the abstract connection something that philosophers have a particular interest in?

[CdM] Not philosophical.

Is the abstract connection health-related?

[CdM] Not health-related.

Are you aware of any Crescenters who *aren't* part of the AOTC?

[Tuj] No-one is literally part of the AOTC. Audience murmurs in amused suspense.

The chair would like to remind the panel that the ANIMAL category need not mean that the answer is an animal, or a set of animals.

Is the AOTC a set of parts of (human) animals?

[CdM] (The audience is relieved of their suspense.) The AOTC is a part of an animal.

Uniquely human?

(I think we need to clarify this)

[CdM] The ANIMAL aspect, no. The ABSTRACT connection, yes.

Is the abstract connection a metaphor?

[Everyone] Feel free to join in. :)

(Applause from the handful of people still in the room.) [CdM] It is a metaphor.

Too many cooks?

Does it involve one or more organs?

[SM] Not too many cooks.
[Tuj] It does involve one or more organs.
