(1994) The unity of the mind, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.

Split brains, scattered agents and group minds

D. H. M. Brooks

pp. 11-25

What does the unity of the mind consist in? Why do we group together certain mental goings-on as the states and activities of a single mind? What is it for a mental event to belong to this mind rather than that one? These are the questions I will be concerned with. They have been raised by philosophers in the past. Hume, notoriously, felt that this was a problem that he could not solve.
