• The line that I am urging as today's conventional wisdom is not a denial of consciousness. It is often called, with more reason, arepudiation of mind. It is indeed a repudiation of mind as a second substance, over and above body.

Mental states and events are a special subclass of the states and events of the human or animal body.

How do you think you could have possibly come this far if you didn't have hope?"
