Our physical selves.


         I do not think that we are just purely physical beings. Then we would not be able to be held accountable for our actions. I think our brain is made to function in a way in which we have conscious and free will. We know what we can and cannot do. The brain is the physical organ that makes everything work. Without it we would have no conscious or thoughts. All our thoughts are collected in the brain. Think about this. If you are smart you would not do something that will send you to jail. If we were a physical being we would be just like a rat. Smart on the outside but probably not very practically smart.

  1. Isn't the brain a physical organ? If so, how does the dependence of mental action on the brain support dualism
