This was addressed in my earlier post.
Quote:I think the reason for this type of belief is that Aristotle and some of the other boys from centuries ago were not aware of the microscopic world, did not know what the brain was exactly, they did not perform the necessary experiments to figure out how nature operates, they did not have equivalents to compare to.
A person from the 20 th century can compare the human brain with a computer hardware and software or an ASIC. There are various AI software as well.
I use these as clues as to what consciousness is.
Nothing in modern science shows that hylomorphism, or Aristotle's definition of the soul, is incorrect.
If you insist that "soul" is a synonym for "consciousness," that's your choice.
