Quote by: luke virtual kh Consciousness has been explained materialistically. It's merely activity in the brain. Simple. |
then how come brain damage doesn't lessen consciousness? if it is activity of the brain, you remove 40% of the brain, 40% of the consciousness should be gone as well. this has never occurred. and if you want to test that, go ahead. if you go blind, you are still a person. a mentally handicapped person is no less of a person than you or I. they are as conscious as you or I. it is not that simple. the brain=consciousness theory DESTROYS free will. that would make every action we take, however random, an action of instinct, and thusw, no consciousness.
