So -- everyone is done with the chapter about Whitman ? Does everyone agree that Whitman's poetry "prefigured Damasio's research findings" (as Michael put it) -- in some way other than a cave woman boiling water prefigured thermodynamics ? (as Mike Mallory put it)
Can anyone explain how "Whitman's fusion of body and soul" would contradict the "Rationalists, who separated mind and body" ? Did Whitman have anything to say about the mind as something distinct from the soul ? (as Cheerskep has asked) Did Whitman ever claim that *all* " thoughts and feelings are intimately connected with the body" ? Has any rationalist ever claimed that *none* were ? Can anyone tell just exactly what they learned from Chapter One ? (that would justify proceeding any further) ____________________________________________________________ Click to become a master chef, own a restaurant and make millions. http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL2231/fc/PnY6rc1mKzGGRp8Ns5HTkeq0xETGJ0 dyJFD5jzt8EvPYJC5E0jLV6/
