Reductionism grounds itself in a body emptied of all mindlike attributes

Evidence

What is granted reverse value status as the ground of reduction is a conception of body or of the physical sphere stripped of psychological and mindlike attributes, considered to be part of the sphere of the ‘non-scientific’. All talk of teleology, of agency, of goals, of striving, of choice and freedom is exorcised here. — Val Plumwood, Feminism and the Mastery of Nature, 454

Categorization

• DEFINE: Captures exactly how the dualism persists inside reductionist positions - the body concept doing the work is still dualistically impoverished.
• XREF: connects to: Materialism never resolves but only disguises nature dualism by a truncated reversal — Val Plumwood, Feminism and the Mastery of Nature, 452; The for-itself radically excludes all objectivity by its own mode of being — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness: An Essay on…, 694
