I agree with you both that it is a very complicated issue.
The Unified Theory starts with the assertion that the split is based on a faulty “onto-epistemology” that stems from the way mind and matter (and science) is framed by the Enlightenment. Animals behaving as whole entities that produce a functional effect on the animal environment relationship is a particular KIND of behavior, that the Unified Theory identifies as “mental behavior”.
Thus, Hector I will go one further. It is not mental versus behavioral or even mental and behavioral, but it is mental behavior 😊.
Best,

Agree Hector! I’m always worried about the cock-sure. Things seem a lot squishier the older I get. LOL

Hi Gregg:
I think it's better to speak (and to think on) about the mentalist and the behavioral views instead of versus.
And I think this is absolutely a very complex issue!!
Thanks for the papel,
Héctor.

Hi TOK Folks,
As everyone knows, I rail on and on about the problem of psychology. If you want to glance at a review of one of the big problems the field faces, which is the mentalist (or cognitivist) versus behavioral views, see here.
The article is a great example of how tangled everyone’s metaphysics is on this issue. It really is laughable once you have the solution and are on the outside looking in and seeing how everyone else is trapped in metaphysical hall of mirrors.
Peace,
G
