Although I am generally sympathetic to Bunge's theme, the first thing that strikes me about his trinity of psychological strategies is that probably the majority of academic psychologists would not identify with any of them. Mentalism, at least in the sense that Bunge calls substantialist mentalism, has long since been relegated to the fringes of psychology, although it may well have a greater following among philosophers. Whether what Bunge calls functionalist mentalism is truly mentalism is a matter I shall take up below. I think that behaviorism, at least in the strong sense, has also very largely disappeared from the academic scene, although behavioristic methods of course remain useful in both basic and applied research.
