Definition
"Het anomal monisme" is a philosophical theory that explains the relationship between mind and body without reducing mental phenomena to physical phenomena. It asserts that while mental events are identical with physical events, the mental cannot be fully predicted or explained by physical laws alone.
Etymology
The term "het anomal monisme" comes from Dutch, where 'anomal' means 'irregular' or 'without law,' and 'monisme' refers to 'monism,' the idea that there is only one kind of substance. The phrase was popularized by philosopher Donald Davidson in the 20th century to describe his view that mental events are physical but not governed by strict laws.
