ABSTRACT

In answer to my craving to know about mind, a philosopher, Jerrold Katz, once suggested to me that different theories of something as elusive as mind or matter are like different architectural drawings of a house. The perspective sketch of the house on its site will look very different from the floor plan which in turn will differ from the wiring and plumbing diagrams. Each of these blueprints has its different use for which the others may well be useless or invalid. One cannot use the wiring diagram to landscape nor find the electric outlets in the overall perspective sketch.
