39.
Since Davidson believes that mental events are causally efficacious ( i . e . he rejects epiphenomenalism ), then it must be a mental event as such ( mental properties of mental events ) which are the causally relevant properties.
40.
Epiphenomenalism is the theory in philosophy of mind that mental phenomena are caused by physical processes in the brain or that both are effects of a common cause, as opposed to mental phenomena driving the physical mechanics of the brain.
