Read this great quote a few moments ago in the book I'm currently reading. The quote is by Harold J. Morowitz:
"First, the human mind, including consciousness and reflective thought, can be explained by activities of the central nervous system, which, in turn, can be reduced to the biological structure and function of that physiological system. Second, biological phenomena at all levels can be totally understood in terms of atomic physics, that is, through the action and interaction of the component atoms of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and so forth. Third and last, atomic physics, which is now understood most fully by means of quantum mechanics, must be formulated with the mind as a primitive component of the system... We have thus, in separate steps, gone around an epistemology circle..."
Try to understand how that works... >_<
