Thanks Chuck, Heady stuff indeed and much food for thought (perhaps graduate level? discussion). I would think the authors might be drawn in to the muddles of dualism in their efforts to avoid a naive reductionism. In any case, their arguments are probably relevant to the problems psychologists have in describing what people see, think, and do and the relation of such with the diverse factors that may said to constitute, "account for, or explain" such experiences and actions. Likely some good discussion material here for the History and Systems class re: the mind-body issue. This would also be fun stuff to explore while listening to cognitive psych folks "explain" thinking, judgment, etc. Will they go to a neuro, mentalistic, or experiential level of analysis? An extreme situational level of analysis is also problematic. I will have to check out that book and explore. Stimulating material. Gary
