“The line that I am urging as today’s conventional wisdom is not a denial of consciousness. It is often called, with more reason, a repudiation of mind. It is indeed a repudiation of mind as a second substance, over and above body.

—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Under the lindens on the heather,
