MIND-BRAIN TYPE IDENTITY THEORY:

 SPECIFICATION
Mind-brain type identity theory:
= All mental states are identical to brain states (‘ontological’ reduction)
although ‘mental state’ and ‘brain state’ are not synonymous (so not an
‘analytic’ reduction).

ISSUES:
 dualist arguments applied to mind-brain type identity theory
 issues with providing the type identities (the multiple realisability of
mental states).

MIND-BRAIN TYPE IDENTITY THEORY:
 The mind is the brain
 Mental properties are physical properties (reduce to/are brain states)
