Idealism, Narrative and the Mind-Brain relation
- Abstract:
- It is widely thought that although idealism effortlessly avoids the mind-body problem in the sense that for idealists the issue simply does not arise it suffers from the defect of being untrue. Neither of these claims is correct. It is not my aim in this paper to demonstrate the truth of idealism. I shall take that as given. But I do wish to explore how an idealist perspective should view the relationship between the mind and the body, or more precisely the relationship between the mind and the brain, for this is a puzzle with which idealists have as much reason to engage as anyone else.
