But other parts of philosophy will continue to exist so long as men feel the need to overreach his own knowledge and teach what he does not know at the expense of his fellow men.
But unless philosophy continues where will the next branch of science come from? Philosophy is how we find our way into new questions. Interestingly some questions resist settling out into science.
Mind : brain = listen : hear
Mind : brain = experience : happen
Mind : brain = who : what
Mind : brain = digestion : stomach
It is obtuse to keep saying they are the same. We don't go in to have a tumor removed from our mind. We don't ask what's on your brain. The brain sure seems to be where the processes of mind arise just as the stomach (and G.I. tract more generally) is where digestion goes on.
