• Thesis Text:
  1. I reject any form of mind-body dualism² or immaterialist monism. There are no souls³, if a soul is an immaterial substance separable from a body⁴.
  2. But, I need to investigate Dean Zimmerman’s recent “emergent dualism” (see "Zimmerman (Dean) - Reply to Baker's 'Christians Should Reject Mind-Body Dualism'"), despite the fact that his main motivation is a desire to conform to a traditionalist reading of Christian doctrine.
  3. There is a comparatively-recent move within certain Christian circles (by the Christian Materialists⁵) to adopt physicalism and focus on Resurrection⁶ – rather than the immortality of the soul – as a solution to most-mortem survival.
  4. Given my focus on physicalism, I will need to give some attention to the identity and persistence criteria⁷ of material objects⁸ as such.
  5. There are too many versions of physicalism for its endorsement to deliver much without clarification, so I will need to pursue the matter in some detail.
  6. For the moment, I simply wish to note (or claim) that:
     1. “The physical” encompasses both body⁹ and brain¹⁰ (ie. the physical criterion¹¹ of personal identity would be satisfied if continuity of brain were essential for the persistence of the person¹²).
     2. The brain is more important than other physical organs for the persistence of the human being¹³ or the human person¹⁴.
  7. Consequently, I think it worthwhile to conduct a detailed investigation into the functional roles of the various parts of the brain, CNS (Central Nervous System) and PNS (Peripheral Nervous System) and how these and the residue of the body are coupled together.
  8. Such matters may be relevant to the realism of the various thought experiments¹⁵ about brain transplants¹⁶, cerebrum transplants and such-like.
  9. It is, however, debatable how important these details are. For example, debates seem to continue about the possible identity of pain and C-fibre-firing, when it’s now acknowledged by all the participants in such debates that the physical realisation of pain-states in mammals requires a lot more than C-fibres (see "Wikipedia - Group C nerve fiber"). The assumption seems to be that the details don’t matter and that similar arguments could be constructed whatever the physical realisation of mental states might be.

  Further Remarks:
  1. A minor terminological issue – countenanced above – is that “physicalism” is a more recent term for “materialism”, so I’ve included both terms in database searches for items relevant to the topic. I think the latter term was too specific about what “the physical” (as distinct from “the mental”) consisted in; a sort of nod to “mass/energy”, I suppose.
  2. There’s a risk of getting too far sucked into debates about Materialism and Physicalism in the philosophy of Mind irrespective of its consequences for Personal Identity. I need to be on the lookout.

No doubt some of the references to “materialism” are irrelevant as picking out items discussing “our materialist culture” (eg. of compulsive shopping rather than focusing on “spiritual things”).
