Identity Theory/Brain/Consciousness/Searle: Vs Identification of conscious states with brain states. Instead: the brain causes these states.
Correlations can be an indication of causality, but they are not a reference to identity.
>Causality, >Causal relation, >Correlation.
ChurchlandVsSearle: Searle does not see why scientists advocate identity: depending on the data situation, it is more plausible than the assumption that a is caused by a different b.
(But Searle is not a dualist).
>Dualism, >Monism, >Property dualism.
Identity instead of causation: e.g. Identity: Current is electron flow, it is not the causation of this flow.
E.g. genes are not caused by base pairs of DNA, they are these base pairs.
>Causation, >Brain states, >Consciousness, >Mental state, >Mind.},
