(1973) Mind-body, Dordrecht, Springer.
A philosopher begins the investigation of the relation of mind and body with a question already adumbrated by everyday experience. Man finds himself in a world that both aids and hinders his thoughts and actions. His thoughts and actions are on one side, set over against the forces and inertias of the world in which they must be actualized. One has plans which can be executed only to the extent that the objective world allows this. One has thoughts which only with effort and the proper concatenation of circumstances can, by means of the material, energies, and laws of the objective world, be turned into things. Between oneself and this objective world there stands one's living body — the crucial juncture between ideas and the physical reality in which they are realized.
