"Many scientists look on chemistry and physics as ideal models of what psychology should be like. After all, the atoms in the brain are subject to the same all-inclusive laws that govern every other form of matter. Then can we also explain what our brains actually do entirely in terms of the same basic principles? The answer is no, simply because even if we understand how each of our billions of brain cells work separately, this would not tell us how the brain works as an agency. The 'laws of thought' depend not only upon the properties of brain cells, but also on how they are connected. ... To be sure, 'general' laws apply to everything. But for that very reason, they can rarely explain anything in particular."
