The case for mental duality: Evidence from split-brain data and other considerations
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 4 (1):93-123 (1981)
Abstract
Contrary to received opinion among philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists, conscious duality as a principle of brain organization is neither incoherent nor demonstrably false. The present paper begins by reviewing the history of the theory and its anatomical basis and defending it against the claim that it rests upon an arbitrary decision as to what constitutes the biological substratum of mind or personMy notes
