It seems to me that I have to maintain that categories of the understanding
can be described as a mathematical category. You would also have to
find the theories of some prominent philosophers of mind/cognitive
scientists ridiculous, if you find this implication too naive.

I won't state whether I agree with the following argument, but there is
a radical argument that goes like this:
  "There is no subjective phenomena; they are illusionary."

The reference of "they" is a bit complicated here, but I'm certain
that the argument can be understood with this concise statement.

What is your opinion?

Thanks,
