In this provocative book, Michael Tye presents his unique account
of the metaphysical foundations of psychological discourse. In
place of token identity theory or eliminative materialism, he
advocates a generalisation of the adverbial approach to sensory
experience, the 'operator theory'. He applies this to the analysis
of prepositional attitudes, arguing that mental statements cannot
involve reference to mental events or objects and that therefore
causal statements about the mental cannot be regarded as asserting
relations between events. This adverbial theory has the virtue of
being both simple and systematic and is an important contribution
to the philosophy of mind.
