Back to the drawing board - Revisiting the 'mental'

Journal/Book: Theor Psychol. 2000; 10: 2455 Teller Rd, Thousand Oaks, CA 91320, USA. Sage Publications Inc. 49-56.

Abstract: The essay demonstrates, by way of a few examples-Kim on supervenience, Dennett on computationality, Churchland on eliminativism-that empirical studies in psychology cannot escape the classic mind/body problem, the resolution of which is bound to color those empirical studies themselves.
