ABSTRACT
Perhaps the reader already detected the similarity between the third-generation neuroscientists way of talking about the brain and certain psychoanalytic habits of talk. The concepts of folk-psychology are not detached words, but rather form a system, where the parts are tied to one another. Max Bennett and Peter Hacker remind us that extending the meaning of psychological terms makes the system collapse. It seems that Bennett and Hacker are on the right track when criticising neuroscience from the point of view of the metrological fallacy. Usually a neurophysiological theory falls implicitly to the fallacy by suggesting that a certain region of the brain is responsible for the experience or competence by choosing, interpreting, or editing information, or making decisions. Consider someone creating an alternative structural theory, according to which certain disorders are due to the hyperactivity of the id or exhaustion of the ego.
