Dr. Robert J. Marks Reads From Minding the Brain
Is your mind the same thing as your brain? Or are there aspects of mind that are external to the biology of the brain? This is the mind-body problem, and it has captivated curious minds since the dawn of human contemplation. Today many insist that the mind is completely reducible to the brain. But is that claim justified? On this episode, host Robert J. Marks reads from the Introduction to the recent volume Minding the Brain: Models of the Mind, Information, and Empirical Science. There is ample evidence across a spectrum of specialties that the mind is more than the brain, and the evidence for a non-materialist account is accumulating. Minding the Brain highlights this evidence, laying the groundwork for promising lines of inquiry for a new generation of philosophical and scientific discovery on the immaterial aspects of mind. Listen in as Dr. Marks reads an excerpt from this exciting new volume.
