We can discuss philosophical notions, but then we are discussing philosophy and not science.
I just have a distaste for bringing science into a discussion where it can be finagled into whatever one finds convenient for the matter at hand.
I get that this question can be recursively applied. It's children's favorite game -- to keep asking "what is ____?". I'm going to guess that you disagree with philosophy as a whole and will keep questioning if anything philosophers discuss is well-defined. If that's the case why are we then discussing philosophy?
EDIT: you can also say "I disagree with physicalism" or "I'm a dualist". But saying all those things are not well-defined is merely a cop-out.
