TY - JOUR AU - Duch, Włodzisław PY - 2017/07/18 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Why minds cannot be received, but are created by brains JF - Scientia et Fides JA - SetF VL - 5 IS - 2 SE - Articles DO - UR - https://apcz.umk.pl/SetF/article/view/SetF.2017.014 SP - 171-198 AB - There is no controversy in psychology or brain sciences that brains create mind and consciousness. Doubts and opinions to the contrary are quite frequently expressed in non-scientific publications. In particular the idea that conscious mind is received, rather than created by the brain, is quite often used against “materialistic” understanding of consciousness. I summarize here arguments against such position, show that neuroscience gives coherent view of mind and consciousness, and that this view is intrinsically non-materialistic. ER -
