15. Nature of Minds / A. Nature of Mind / 1. Mind / a. Mind

4969	I regard the mind-body problem as wide open, and extremely confusing [Kripke]
	Full Idea: I regard the mind-body problem as wide open, and extremely confusing.
	From: Saul A. Kripke (Naming and Necessity notes and addenda [1972], note 77)
	A reaction: Kripke opposes reductive physicalism, but is NOT committed to dualism. He seems to be drawn to Davidson or Nagel (see his note 73). I think his discussion of contingent mind-brain identity is confused.
