The last fifty years have seen a great expansion of our knowledge of the mind/brain and it relationship to the external world. Significant advances have been made on the experimental front, in areas as diverse as Psychophysics, Neurophysiology and Cognitive Psychology. However, the corresponding advances in theory have not materialized. Some of the disciplines within the mind/brain sciences have developed deep theories of the corresponding mental faculty- linguistics and vision being two notable examples. However, these theories are specific to the particular mental faculty and do not generalize well. Ideally, a complete theory of the mind/brain should provide an unified account of the mind/brain within an explanatory level and also across explanatory levels
