The author believes the mind is the brain, but he is saying there is no argument for materialism or that the mind is the brain. He addresses various arguments for mind is the brain sort of thing....and says really there is no argument to dismiss dualism although he doesn't believe in dualism.
A lot of these arguments address are quite common here in these forums. So have a look.
