Should the opening sentence say that physical and mental events are to be reduced... (as it does now) or that they can be reduced.... Saying that they are to be reduced sounds apocalyptic. Wesley

And what's with using the word "stuff" --Tothebarricades.tk 21:00, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I removed the mention of reduction, because AFAIK, neutral monism need not be reductionist. Added William James (from Oxford Dict. of Phil., 1996). Jussi Hirvi 18 July 2005

Added Fred Ayer as another proponent of Neutral Monism, the view is discussed in Language, Truth, and Logic as part of Ayers criticism of metaphysics.--69.246.166.61 04:55, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
