Brain fantasies.
Any reasoning concerning the brain must face two different objects: the organ-brain, and the metaphoric-brain. Because we know so little about the true nature of brain/mind relations, we have to be extremely careful and humble when coping with brain and mind. It is necessary above all to make a clear distinction between reality and fantasies, between organ-brain and metaphoric-brain.
