Consciousness: Egnor on what a brain does (General)

QUOTE: "Human organs don’t “know” or “learn” anything. This error is the mereological fallacy. It is the same mereological fallacy to say that my brain learns as it is to say that my lungs breathe or my legs walk. I learn and I breathe and I walk, using my brain and lungs and legs.

DAVID’s comment: I'm with Egnor's dualism. The brain is the seat of consciousness. The brain is material and consciousness is totally immaterial.

I think we have covered every facet of this subject under “Egnor on dualism” and “Theory of Intelligence”.
