Abstract
In recent years, a number of philosophers have argued in favour of materialism in the form of an identity thesis — that is, a thesis to the effect that mental events are identical with certain physiological events.1 Some have argued directly in favour of a thesis of this kind;2 others have tried to show that it at least escapes the charge of logical incoherence which has been levelled against it;3 the implication is that, if this charge can be set aside, the thesis is quite plausible.
