Introduction to Philosophy: Overhead

Another Argument from Introspection
Against the Identity Theory

1. My mental states are introspectively known by me as states of my conscious self.
2. My brain states are not introspectively known by me as states of my conscious self.
3. My mental states are not identical with my brain states (1, 2 Leibniz's Law)
