mind in matter
at least in some forms of matter
the relation between the two?
awareness is mind
I don't think it make any sense to speak of mind as in any sense un-aware - like i.e. the
Freudians suggest
mind is awareness
OK
internal /external dimensions of the human being
will a physical effect on the body have a result in consciousness?
a mental event have a physical description?
my thinking is that certain events have both a physical and mental description
any physical event that is made conscious - has a mental description
and mental events - that is conscious events -
a physical description?
yes
always
so my focus is events - kinds of events
we can speculate that there are events in space / time that no consciousness is aware of
but any event that is apprehended by consciousness has a mental description
so any conscious event has a physical description
any internal event an external correlate
yes
so the event in itself?
outside of consciousness - an unknown
in terms of consciousness - it has - as a matter of fact - a double aspect - an internal
(conscious) description - an external - physical description
there is on this account no question of the relation of mind and matter - mind and
body
rather singular events that have dual descriptions
inside and out?
the entity with these dimensions - has two descriptions - in terms of its attributes
a singularity - the entity - independent of its dimensions -
there just is no account
no description
the unity that the attributes express - is what?
a logical unity
that which enables the possibility of the attributes
(and hence - descriptions)
logical in the sense that it must be presumed - for what is - to be
we are dealing ultimately with metaphysical facts
that in themselves have no explanation
