  2. J. J. C. Smart [1959] has made out an excellent case for his identity theory by referring to a weak after-image. In this case, there is really no urgent reason to deny that some brain event is experienced (so that the brain event and the experience are parallel—and I do not much object even to his claim that they are perhaps identical). But far more typical and important are examples which, rather, fit the opposite case: the case of dualistic interaction.
