Re: The ontological firewall between mind and body

2012-08-23 Thread Stephen P. King

Hi Roger,

ontological firewall ? Could you elaborate on exactly what that 
means to you? BY Pratt, the difference between the two is just a matter 
of perspective, like the figure-ground. One cannot see both at the same 
time without cancelling both out. Pratt builds on how the mind and body 
have transformations that flow in opposite directions.

Pratt does not seem to understand that there is an ontological 
firewall between extended  (body)
and inextended (mind) entities. As far as I know, only monadology can 
wipe out that problem.

Hi Stephen P. King 

No, it's not just a matter of perspective,  and his philosophy is illogical.

The firewall is there to separate things that should not and can not possibly 
mix or
exhange anything between them by themselves.  Most prominently, in materialism, 
 it is the firewall between 
mind and brain. Nobody's ever been able to interface them, hence there is no 
feasible solution
mind and brain.
