Abstract
Greenberg and Lambdin’s review (in the summer 2007 issue) does an excellent job of summarizing the contents of Uttal’s book Neural Theories of Mind: Why the Mind-Brain Problem May Never Be Solved (hereafter NTM). Furthermore, these authors make several insightful comments about the issues raised in NTM. I disagree, however, with two aspects of Greenberg and Lambdin’s review: one a matter of opinion, the other of fact. First, I am surprised at the authors’ generally positive assessment of NTM, because they (and I) disagree with Uttal’s fundamental notion that minds exist and that the brain is the source of behavior. Second, I take issue with some of Greenberg and Lambdin’s interpretations of neuroscience research, which they use, rightly, to argue that psychology is not a biological science.
