Can the self be a brain?
Principia: An International Journal of Epistemology 19 (2): 235 - 246 (2015)
Abstract
Philosophical materialists suggest that a person can be identified with their brain. My paper is a critical investigation of this provocative thesis and an analysis of some of the prominent arguments to support this view. My overall argument is that there is more to this issue than some philosophers appear to acknowledge.Author's Profile
