CONT

Certains philosophes d’allégeance matérialiste disent que les états mentaux sont identiques aux états ou processus neurophysiologiques qui se déroulent dans le cerveau. [Un] philosophe australien [...] et d’autres formulèrent la théorie de l’identité de l’esprit et du cerveau. Plus précisément, selon cette théorie, tout état mental - tel que croire, désirer, espérer, aimer, éprouver de la douleur, etc. - est identique à un seul et unique état neurophysiologique du cerveau.
