This document defines several philosophical terms and concepts: Analytic Thomism is a philosophical school that applies contemporary analytic philosophy to problems from Thomism and medieval philosophy. Anomalous monism holds that mental events are identical to physical events but cannot be scientifically correlated. Behaviorism is the theory that mental states are just behavioral dispositions. Cartesian dualism is Rene Descartes' substance dualism that separates mind and body. Epistemology is the study of knowledge. High-order theories of consciousness hold that consciousness results from higher-order mental states about first-order states. Hylomorphism holds that living things are composites of matter and form, with the soul being the form of the body.

3.  A philosophical school of thought devoted to
applying the methods of contemporary analytic
philosophy to problems and concepts derived
from Thomism in particular and medieval
philosophy in general, and to applying
concepts and arguments derived from
Thomism and medieval philosophy to issues in
contemporary analytical philosophy.

4.  Anomalous monism holds that all events,
including mental events, are identical to
physical events, but that there are no scientific
laws correlating mental events and physical
events, so that a type reduction of mental
events to brain events is impossible. It is also
referred to as the token identity theory.

5.  A philosophical theory which holds that for a
creature to exhibit mental states or capacities is
just for it to have certain behavioral
dispositions.

6.  The version of dualism associated with the
philosopher Rene Descartes, namely a form of
substance dualism.

7.  The philosophical study of the nature, ground,
and scope of knowledge.

8.  A high-order theory of consciousness is a
theory that holds that what makes a mental
state conscious is that it is the object of some
other, higher-order mental state.

9.  Hylomorphism holds that all physical
substances are composites of matter and form,
and that in the case of a living thing, it’s soul is
to be identified with the form of it’s body.
