This preliminary chart of theories of the mind has been kicking
about intracranially for a few weeks, then came to life today on
the back of a Seattle coffee-shop calendar.  Obviously, it is an
attempt both at propaganda for the Mentifex theory of mind and
it is an invitation for anyone who so pleases to modify the chart
and to repost it with better questions, or information on theories
that ought to be included, or any improvement whatsoever.  By the
way, someone really ought to publish a book on theories of mind.

                               Submitted with the usual temerity,
                               Arthur T. Murray
