The False Dichotomy of Mind and Body

The arguments for the two substances [mind and body] have, we believe, entirely lost their validity; they are no longer compatible with ascertained science and clear thinking. The one substance, with two sets of properties, two sides, the physical and the mental—a double-faced unity—would appear to comply with all the exigencies of the case.

Notes:

It is silly to have two substances, where there is actually one substance with two properties.
