NeutralMonism

Neutral monism is the view that MentalEvent""s and PhysicalEvent""s are both to be reduced (see ReducTion) to aspects of some neutral stuff, which stuff considered by itself is neither physical nor mental. Neutral monism was introduced by the great 17th-century Jewish-Dutch philosopher, BaruchSpinoza, and a version of it was recently revived by a very prominent American philosopher, DonaldDavidson.
