Can the Self be a Brain?
Vol 19, No 2 (2015) • Principia: an international journal of epistemology
Autor: Alan Kenneth Schwerin
Abstract:
Philosophical materialists suggest that a person can be identified with their brain. My paper is a critical investigation of this provocative thesis and an analysis of some of the prominent arguments to support this view. My overall argument is that there is more to this issue than some philosophers appear to acknowledge.
