...dominates the body. Cogito, ergo sum. Professor Tyndall says (Fragments of Science, vol. ii. p, 86), " The passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is inconceivable as a result of mechanics. I do not think the materialist is entitled to say that his... | |

...materialism no good, for Prof. Tyndall himself admits that " molecular motion explains nothing. . . The passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable." Accordingly, matter has only two essential properties, impenetrability and extension, other properties... | |
