April 14, 2022

#STRaskStand to Reason
Questions about whether logic and reasoning aren’t immaterial because they’re activities of a physical brain and whether the fact that some people have a “blind mind’s eye” counters the claim that the mind’s ability to visualize images is evidence for the existence of a non-physical self.
* How would you respond to someone who claims logic and reasoning aren’t immaterial because they’re activities of a physical brain?
