And correlations and/or correspondences can be drawn between physical events and mental ones. But causation is not one-way (i.e. matter > mind), as you would like to have your reader believe. Introspection, self-awareness and qualia, for example, cannot be explained by either type physicalism or eliminative Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22339919.post-65636338845663151612008-01-13T20:32:00.000+01:002008-01-13T20:32:00.000+01:00Hi Thinking Theist,1) All observations so far show...Hi Thinking Theist,<BR/><BR/>1) All observations so far show the brain to be the physical system in which mental processes occur. Specific thoughts even have specific patterns of cerebral activity. This activity can be predicted based on prior observations and as such there is experimental evidence supporting the theory, not hypothesis, that thinking occurs in the brain.
