Book excerpt: She contends that many current theories of mind are rendered unintelligible once it is seen how these explanations really work. A number of prominent features of contemporary philosophy of mind - token identity theories, the functionalist's conception of causal role, a common form of argument for eliminative materialism, and the structure of the debate about the efficacy of mental content - are impugned by her arguments. Steward concludes that the modern mind-body problem needs to be substantially rethought.
