Sensations and brain processes

This papers1 takes its departure from arguments to be found in U. T. Place's 'Is consciousness a brain process?'2 I have had the benefit of discussing Place's thesis in a good many universities in the United States and Australia, and I hope that the present paper answers objections to his thesis which Place has not considered and that it presents his thesis in a more nearly unobjectionable form. This paper is meant also to supplement the paper 'The "Mental" and the "Physical" ' by H. Feigl,3 which in part argues for a similar thesis to Place's.
