- Nominator's statement
- A fundamental contribution to the philosophy of mind and introduction of anomalous monism according to which individual mental events are physical but cannot be fully described and/or predicted by physical laws. This paper brought to focus the subtle distinction between the possibility of the physical description of a particular mental event as contrasted with the impossibility of its unambiguous derivation from a set of psychophysical laws.
