double aspect theory of mind

Theory that mind and body, or mental events and some cerebral events, are two aspects of a single thing.

The theory resembles neutral monism but is more limited, applying only to certain cerebral (or perhaps neural) events. It is often attributed to Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677), but interpretations of him differ.

When the body becomes privileged and usurps the function of the single underlying thing, the theory veers towards the identity theory of mind and body.
