Neutral Monism
Neutral monism
is the
philosophical
view that
mental events
and
physical events
are both to be
reduced
to aspects of some neutral stuff, which stuff considered by itself is neither physical nor mental. Neutral monism was introduced by the famous
17th century
Dutch philosopher,
Baruch Spinoza
, and a version of it was propounded at various times by
Bertrand Russell
. The American philosopher
Donald Davidson
advanced a position on mind-body identity he called "anomalous monism," which is related to but probably not exactly the same as these earlier theories. ("Anomalous" here meaning "not-physical-law-governed" rather than "strange.")
