Number 94 : November 1998 |
Roger Farnworth (Dualism; C91/37-39) : I did find this item a struggle to follow, and it seems I got it wrong.
Roger Farnworth (Dualism; C93/40) : I didn’t use the words "all that remains to be done ...", and I don’t think I implied them. I think that scans such as MRI scans will help in seeing how the various parts of the human brain work together. On the other hand they do have their limitations - on their own they will not solve the qualia problem, for example.
Theo in response to Roger Farnworth (C93/41.1) : You have prodded me to action. I have got How the Mind Works down from the shelf where it has been for months, and have started to read it.
Norman Mackie (C92 & Farewell; C93/7) : In case he hasn’t tried already, Norman should find that if he explains the situation, he should obtain a reduction in his subscription to Mensa. I am in a similar situation, so I know how difficult it can sometimes be to find even a reduced subscription, when the gas bill needs paying.
Albert Dean (C93) : Perhaps we seem to take ourselves too seriously sometimes, but it’s in the nature of philosophical discussion to be rather serious (even when discussing humour).
