The Mind-Brain Problem

abracad, · Categories: spirituality

The question of whether mind and brain are separate entities is one of conscious man's oldest conundrums.

Conventional science favors materialism, ie that mind is a mere function of brain. But there are many arguments to the contrary, eg the existence of emotion, our need for art and beauty, the huge body of evidence supporting the reality of psychic phenomena, near death experiences and good old common sense.

While we can no more prove the separateness of mind and brain any more than the monists can prove the opposite, my article Mind, Body, Soul articulates good reasons to believe they are distinct entities.
