Do you think there is a "mind" or is there just "brain"?

Asked by Rarebear (25192points) June 25th, 2011

As a pure empiricist, I believe the “mind” is a made up construct by our species. I think our thought processes are merely biochemical and bioelectrical pathways in the brain and if that’s damaged then it ceases to function. But many people here will disagree with me that we do have a “mind”, and some will even say that this mind is transcendent. Hogwash I say! What say you?

(And don’t even get me STARTED on the word “soul”!)
