James D. Madden, Ph.D | Thinking About Thinking
The Benedictine Dialogues
Mind, Brain, and the External World
This chapter explores the materialist perspective on the mind and brain, challenging the idea that a picture of the brain can represent the essence of the mind. It emphasizes that thinking extends beyond the individual mind and is influenced by external factors such as interactions with others and historical events. The chapter also discusses the conditions for participating in the mind by giving and taking reasons, highlighting the importance of a shared language and connection to the empirical world.
