Nominator's statement

Perhaps the nominator could kindly explain what all that means. It seems to bear no relationship to what I got out of the book, which is a clear argument for physicalism over mentalism (though I don't agree with many of the points made).

• Churchland's Neurophilosophy undermined the prevailing view in Cognitive Science that both the metaphysical thesis of functionalism i.e., the mind is what the brain does) and its corollary, the multiple realizability of the mental, entails that we entail that we do not need to examine nervous systems in order to verify theories used to explain behavior.
