ABSTRACT
You need not agree with the details of this ontological blueprint to appreciate the lessons for the philosophy of mind I now hope to extract from it. An adequate defense of those details would require an extended excursion into hard-core metaphysics not appropriate in a volume of this kind. e same could be said for most of what follows. My intent is not to oer airtight proofs or dis-proofs, however, but merely to illustrate the benets of a comprehensive ontology for the kinds of issue in the philosophy of mind that have taken center stage in the preceding chapters.
