'And so there is after all a sense [if functionalism is right] in which "the
mental" is distinct from 'the physical': though there are no nonphysical
substances or stuffs, and every mental token is itself entirely physical, mental
characterization is not physical characterization, and the property of being
a pain is not simply the property of being such and such a neural firing.'
Lycan, Mind and Cognition, 2nd edition, p. 6.
