Document Summary
Universe has four fundamental properties: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force. If gravity were weaker, matter would not condense into stars and planets p. 2. Hard problem david chalmers-given the universe is composed of matter and energy why is there such thing as consciousness. Mind-brain problem or mind-body problem what is the relationship between mental experience and brain activity. Fundamental property is a property that cannot be reduced to something else i. e. mass, we can"t explain why matter has mass; it just does-to say mass is a fundamental property means we have given up on finding a reason why. Physiological relates a behaviour to the activity of the brain and other organs (deals with machinery of body)- chemical reactions and enable hormones to influence brain activity. Ontogenetic describes how a structure or behaviour develops, including the influences of genes, nutrition, experiences, and their interactions. Evolutionary reconstructs the evolutionary history of a structure or behaviour.
