Krimel said: I was merely checking to see if you buy this notion of mental substance or disembodied consciousness. James would say no, that mental events arise from physical substance. There is a long history of attempts to validate James ideas here. I do not think this is unique to the MoQ.
dmb says: I disagree entirely. The idea that mental events arise from physical substance is exactly what James and Pirsig are against. They assert that "mental" and "physical" are products of reflection, abstractions of the qualitative differences known in direct experience. I posted the relevant quotes from James recently, so I'll spare you. _________________________________________________________________ Don't get caught with egg on your face.
