The Mind as a Function of the Body by Richard Taylor

Science can not explain everything, but we try to find answers and rely on evidence. Religion is entirely based on faith, and I believe many things that are pointless and that there is no evidence to support their view. The belief that there are substances that do not take up space, yet are beyond the elements related to the body is one of them. Believe that heart and soul have nothing to do with the body, and they are two separate substances. The body is one, the mind is another.

In the reading by Richard Swinburne, he evaluated the interaction between the mortality of the soul and the human body. His position was best explained as a soul attribution to a light bulb, and attributed the brain to a functional socket. "When the socket (brain) is damaged or current is blocked, light (soul) does not shine - Functioning brain and soul also play a role - the existence of the soul has puzzled the people for many years I believe that the Islamic philosopher Abysena has proven the existence of the soul using the flighting human thought experiment.As he insists he knows nothing because the pilot is struggling, He can find the soul.

According to Ayn ​​Rand, a person is a complex of two attributes, consciousness and problem. Or mind and body. The function of the mind is to master knowledge and to define value. In this case, the body's role is to carry out the conclusions of human thinking and evaluate the evaluation. Each of these attributes is essential for the whole entity as a person and for others. Without a heart, people can not acquire knowledge, lead actions or save lives. In addition to important internal processes, the body can not automatically operate and can not operate. It will not be moved by mysterious impulses, driving or mysterious instincts. A person, the animal in question, moves only under the guidance of his consciousness. When a person loses consciousness, his body becomes inactive. On the other hand, without a physical brain or body, humans do not have any consciousness or thought. Needless to say how to carry out his idea.
