Citing Place (1956) in context (citations start with an asterisk *):
Section: Critique of dualism in the psychiatric literature
* Ryle (1949) suggests that mental concepts are completely translatable to behavioural concepts, so that sentences that use such terms as “belief” and “thought” can be replaced by sentences that describe behaviours and dispositions without changing their meanings. This then inspired the type identity theory of Place (1956) and Smart (1959), according to which kinds of mental state are literally identical with respective kinds of brain state.
