Re: The Great Culture Debate: Christopher Hitchens vs. David Allen Whi
I completely agree that the biological understanding of brain function has been tremendous, but it has added nothing relevant to our understanding of the epistemological process which has been in place for over 700 years. The same goes for the study of Logic.
That the human body and brain is necessary for cognitive function is understood. The soul could not develop without a body. However, the body without a soul is dead, whereas a brain damaged body is still not dead and could be conceivably fixed if we had the technology. Essentially, life is still a mystery.
