“He was right in thinking that if minds did exist in any way that was a distinct from brains, they, unlike bodies, were intrinsically unobservable. But he was wrong in concluding that because minds are not observable in the way that bodies are they therefore do not exist. That piece of reasoning is the classic non sequitur of materialism.
Mortimer J Adler, Intellect: Mind Over Matter (New York: Collier Books, 1990), 16.
