Disproving The Soul
#43
RE: Disproving The Soul
It seems kinda silly to me to say one is a materialist or that materialism is true without first having a substantive (pun) idea about what this stuff, matter is and what kinds of properties it has. Your definition of 'that substance that comprises all of nature' could just as well be the Mind of God and I don't think you had that in mind (pun again) Actually, you sound like an 'aspect dualist'. This approach can be easily integrated with the Aristotelian concept of hylomorphism that I advocate.

Also the idea of a "Cartesian theater", is a modern strawman. This modern conception of dualism makes a strict division between mental and physical properties in order to create an interaction problem.
