the right kind of scientific objects: An Epilogue with Warren McCulloch's Embodiments of Mind. Warren McCulloch marks the brain explicitly as an epistemic object. Since then, to see in statu nascendi' what brain research means implies the irrefutability of the truth that the mind is in the head. And it implies to see the contingency of this knowledge. This again allows to ask for more details about the object and its destiny - beginning with the riddle, why McCulloch is not forgotten until today, but his clear designation is forgotten. A comparison between McCulloch's Embodiments of Mind and John von Neumann's The Computer and the Brain should help to follow the traces of this riddle.
