Did you know René Descartes’ “Cartesianism” sparked the mind-body dualism debate? His *Meditations on First Philosophy* (1641) challenged conventional views, influencing thinkers like Spinoza and Locke. (Q379226) #MindBodyProblem #EarlyModernPhilosophy

Ever heard of supervenience? This philosophical concept unlocks why moral facts depend on natural ones, reshaping debates in ethics and metaphysics. Pioneered by thinkers like Donald Davidson, it challenges reductionism while bridging dualist divides. (Q202834) #Ethics #Metaphysics #MindBodyProblem

Ever felt torn between mind & body? Dualism, the ancient idea that reality splits into opposing forces (like spirit vs matter), sparked debates from Descartes to modern neuroscience. (Q167312) #MindBodyProblem #PhilosophyOfMind

The Mind-Body Problem Just Got Weirder You're reading this right now. But who, or what, is the "you" doing the reading? We can map every neuron in your brain, trace every electrical signal, but nowhere in that physical data can we find the feeling of understanding these words. This is the Hard Problem of Consciousness, and it's the deepest and most fascinating mystery in all of science and philosophy. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the explanatory gap between your physical brain and your subjective inner world. Is your consciousness just an emergent property—a clever illusion that complex neuroscience creates? Or is there something more, a ghost in the machine that science can't touch, that explains your unique first-person perspective and the rich world of qualia (the redness of red, the sting of sadness)? We’ll explore the fierce debate: from scientists who believe it's a "non-problem" we'll eventually solve, to philosophers proposing mind-bending alternatives like dualism and panpsychism—the theory that the universe itself might be conscious. We’re tackling the very essence of self-awareness, personal identity, and what it means to be. Stick around until the very end, where we reveal a simple thought experiment about a bat that might completely shatter everything you thought you knew about your own mind. This isn't just a discussion; it's an exploration of you. Subscribe, share this with anyone who's ever stared at the ceiling at 3 AM wondering 'what is all this?', and join the ultimate conversation. Let's get curious together.

Scientists Say Your “Mind” Isn’t Confined to Your Brain, or Even Your Body Exploring how the mind extends beyond the physical self.

The fact that the mind isn't simply a function of the physical brain is chapter-and-verse system theory - good article courtesy of @oliviagoldhill.bsky.social at Quartz.

The trans debate mirrors U.T Place's “is” distinction. "A trans woman is a woman" uses the "is" of predication (category), but detractors argue with the "is" of identity (strict definition). The clash isn’t just about gender—it’s about how we define things at all. #Philosophy #MindBodyProblem

Did you know 'sympathy' in medicine once sparked debates about the mind-body connection? This term, rooted in ancient Greek thought, challenged early understandings of human physiology and influenced Renaissance medical theories. (Q2374696) #MedicalHistory #MindBodyProblem

Solution to the Mind-Body Problem

If #stuff is understood not as a material but as a purely relational quality of a system, this offers the possibility of resolving the mind-body dualism.

The Mind-Body Problem: Tyler’s Emergent Dualism Versus Neuroscience What is the relationship between our minds and our bodies? How does the physical affect the mental, and vice versa?

"Can emergent properties help us understand the human condition and where 'we’ are in the midst of all of this… if anywhere at all?"

finally made a Medium account, more long-form things to come 👀
