Document Summary

Overlapping, integrated synaptic activity (according to scientist) Some believe that there is a little ore to i than just synaptic activity. There are no answer to these questions. Dualism- descartes- the mind and body are two different things. You cannot trust your senses, your reason is the only thing i can rely on . Never accept anything as true unless it is so clear and distinct as to exclude all ground of doubt . Perceptions and senses related things aren"t the same for everyone. ( color blindness, phantom limb, refraction in water, dreams, etc) Scientific approach, we perceive the sun to move across the sky but we know it circles the earth. Assuming god exists, he believes he gave him a reason to find the truth. Taking for granted, his reason, god and the material world. I know my mind will exist without my body, but my body will rot away without my mind to retain it.
