I don’t disagree with any of that, although I would classify him as a materialist or at least a monist regardless of his objections. I also think he is taking the ‘mind as object’ too literally when discussed by materialists. Even dualists hardly think of the ‘mind’ as an object (they would rather keep things vague and undefined, afterall)
Tell me this, does he believe in ‘free will’ or contra-causal will? Your earlier quotes from him implied that he does, although now I’m not sure.
To me, saying someone has a ‘mental disorder’ is the same as saying someone has a brain abnormality that effects the functioning of those processes that are attributed to mental agents (thinking, acting, deciding). Is he simply disagreeing on ground of terminology? If so, I’m not interested.
