7) "And because without objects there can be no subject, quality is the
event at which awareness of
both subjects and objects is made possible."
STRUAN:
Aha! That is why the subtle shift from mind and matter to subject and object
has been made. I agree
that an object pre-supposes a subject, but what about this? "And because
without matter there can be
no mind, quality is the event at which awareness of both mind and matter is
made possible." There is
no logical contradiction in postulating mind without matter.
RICK:
Struan, great stuff. You present a challenge in this forum like few others
do. I was wondering if you would take a few minutes to explain how it can
be logical to posulate mind without matter, as I can not seem to get such a
notion to make even the least bit of sense (it keeps coming out like the
most simplistic idealism imaginable, a position I can't imagine anyone---
except maybe a few stoners--- would seriously hold).
Thanks,
Rick
