Even if there is no soul stuck in our bodies, this woman isn't making this up. There's obviously something happening in her brain that is making her experience the world in a different way — but researchers can't yet say exactly what it is. Plus, this study was about one woman's out-of-body experience, not all out-of-body experiences.
The fact that people writing about this don’t even know how to talk outside of a materialist category, since a soul would be present only illocally, is not a material thing and therefore, has no extension in space; leaves me with NO ability to take this kind of writing and commentary seriously.
Funny, the paltry nature and stupidity of your complaint leaves me unable to take you seriously.
Quote:I hope people appreciate science, but I wish people were more conversant with some of the philosophical disciplines, such as the basic uses and function of logic and logical categories in our speaking and writing. It is really frustrating to see the mass ignorance that seems to coat nearly all of society like a wet blanket.
I suggest you actually learn more philosophy yourself, particularly in the areas of epistemology and philosophy of mind.
