In this episode, we continue our exploration of chapter 9 from the book "What is Man, Adam, Alien or Ape?" by our host. The discussion centers around an intriguing analogy where the brain is depicted as a house and the mind as its occupant. This episode delves into the theory of dualism, particularly through the lens of three realtors representing different theories of human consciousness.
The focus is on the third realtor, who aligns with the dualistic perspective that the mind and brain are distinct entities. The episode examines philosophical arguments, including the "hard problem of consciousness" and the views of thinkers like Raymond Tallis, Thomas Nagel, and Aristotle. The discussion also touches on the concept of hylomorphism and its limitations in explaining the mind-body relationship.
In the latter part of the episode, the host introduces substance dualism, based on the teachings of René Descartes, and discusses its implications and criticisms. The episode promises a deep dive into the complexities of consciousness, setting the stage for further exploration in future podcasts.
