The Unique Argument for the Immateriality of Human Persons

The argument presented in the podcast focuses on the immateriality of human persons, contrasting it with traditional arguments against physicalism. Rather than emphasizing consciousness or qualia, this argument centers on formal thinking and the non-physical nature of mathematical objects like algorithms. It delves into the relationship between logical and mathematical objects, such as algorithms, and how they are inherently non-physical. The overarching question raised is about the nature of human beings and their deep, understandable connection to these non-physical concepts.
