Episode notes
Consciousness and Reality
- Consciousness offers insights into reality's nature, suggesting we are more than our bodies.
- Rasmussen will discuss this with Bertiezy, focusing on whether humans are purely material.
Can Thoughts Be Built?
- Physical objects, like Legos, lack the properties of thoughts (aboutness, logical relations).
- Can thoughts be built from purely material components?
Eliminativism vs. Introspection
- Eliminativism posits that thoughts don't exist anywhere in reality.
- Rasmussen rejects this due to our introspective power to witness our thoughts and their unique attributes.
