The Category Error of Scientism
#40
RE: The Category Error of Scientism
Chad,

Ok buddy, I'm here. Explain to me the necessity of this "non-physical stuff", and why you think it must exist. Start with any example of reality that I may perceive, and then point out what I must acknowledge to be incomplete with a Monist vie w of experience. All I see are physical forms of existence. There is only physical existence. I do not believe that there is any additional substance that must be invoked here.

What does that mean? and is my camera example exempt from this necessity?
