Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter presents a certain branch of psychological work in the Anglo-American world, which is of some philosophical interest. The subject matter of the philosophy of mind is largely and obviously the conduct, behavior, and mental functioning of human organisms of embodied persons. There is another way, a third way, of speaking about mental functioning, which is neither ordinary language nor physio-anatomy. This alternative suggestion raises some interesting possibilities. It may be that this way of talking will help to free the authors from their present submission to the hypothetical in the philosophy of mind and free them from their fear of the categorical import of statements about mental powers and functioning. It may also help to bring the philosophy of mind into a closer and more fruitful relation with the scientific enterprise.
