"The type identity theory, according to which types of mental state are identical
to types of physical state, fell out of favour for some years but is now being considered
with renewed interest. Many philosophers are critically re-examining the arguments
which were marshalled against it, finding in the type identity theory both resources
to strengthen a comprehensive, physicalistic metaphysics and a useful tool in understanding
the relationship between developments in psychology and new results in neuroscience.
This volume brings together leading philosophers of mind, whose essays challenge in
new ways the standard objections to type identity theory, such as the multiple realizability
objection and the modal argument. Other essays show how cognitive science and neuroscience
are lending new support to type identity theory and still others provide, extend and
improve traditional arguments concerning the theory's explanatory power"
