Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The traditional, and still standard, view of psychological (or mental) phenomena in some empirical sciences holds that they take place inside the organism's body and can be individuated independently of external factors. The organism's behaviors are, according to this view, mere effects, rather then constituents, of psychological phenomena. And the fact that, for example, an organism is desiring something instead of something else is taken to be a matter entirely of what is inside the organism. The current versions of the view are usually couched in materialistic terms, identifying psychological phenomena with brain phenomena. However, as Noe, in this book, and some other authors (e.g., Bennett and Hacker 2003; Rowlands 2003) point out, such approaches are still Cartesian in spirit.
