The mine--body problem in an evolutionary perspective.

M Bunge

    Ciba Foundation Symposium
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Charles Darwin founded evolutionary psychology, but its progress is hindered by psychology's separation from biology and lingering mind-body dualism. Adopting the psychoneural identity hypothesis is crucial for advancing the study of behavioral and mental evolution.

    Area of Science:

    • Evolutionary Psychology
    • Philosophy of Mind
    • Cognitive Science

    Background:

    • Charles Darwin's theory of evolution implies that behavior and ideation evolve alongside physical traits.
    • Evolutionary psychology, though founded by Darwin, has not been vigorously pursued.
    • Psychology's separation from biology and adherence to psychoneural dualism impede its evolutionary perspective.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the underdevelopment of evolutionary psychology.
    • To argue for the adoption of the psychoneural identity hypothesis in psychology.
    • To explain how psychoneural monism facilitates understanding mental evolution.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of evolutionary theory and psychology.
    • Examination of the implications of psychoneural dualism versus psychoneural identity hypothesis.
    • Argument for integrating psychological and biological sciences.

    Main Results:

    • Most psychologists still operate under pre-evolutionary assumptions.
    • Psychoneural dualism obstructs the acceptance of mental evolution.
    • The psychoneural identity hypothesis aligns with evolutionary biology and explains the role of ideation in evolution.

    Conclusions:

    • Evolutionary psychologists should address the mind-body problem.
    • Adopting the psychoneural identity hypothesis is essential for advancing evolutionary psychology.
    • Viewing ideation as a brain process clarifies its dual role as both a driver and outcome of evolution.
