Gregg: I accept your invitation. May I ask, what led you to choose this particular work?

The book is free and on-line. It is John Horgan's Mind Body Problems<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__mindbodyproblems.com_&d=DwIBaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=s-R6M6hfOGoi0XNEPzL4ZP_EN3HsB7oqp1rr1qezSjI&s=cLOLF8DF4D-hNinQV0_ulxiDQ8I6DoFv4eGKM_Ky09Y&e=>. I have started reading it and will offer a summary of one chapter each week. The first chapter is Introduction: The Weirdness. <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__mindbodyproblems.com_introduction_&d=DwIBaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=s-R6M6hfOGoi0XNEPzL4ZP_EN3HsB7oqp1rr1qezSjI&s=UYxDdWcxnEXxGa0rZAEGkNh4tcQoaGJjmpQRgZ3EMls&e=> It is not too long, just over 4,000 words. On Friday, I will offer a summary of it and some commentary. >> >> The book gives us an opportunity as a group to grapple with the mind-body problem(s) and to engage in conversations about what it is, and how we might understand it going forward. As you will see, Horgan defines the problem very broadly. As such, it is very relevant for a Theory Of Knowledge. And it is also quite relevant for the ToK/UTUA framework. If the ToK/UTUA Framework is valid, it has much to say about the mind-body problems. The nature of the problems look very different. >> >> I hope you will join me and chime in with your own thoughts. >> >> Best, >> Gregg >> >> ############################ >> >> To unsubscribe from the TOK-SOCIETY-L list: >> write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] >> or click the following link: >> http://listserv.jmu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=TOK-SOCIETY-L&A=1 > > ############################ > > To unsubscribe from the TOK-SOCIETY-L list: > write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > or click the following link: > http://listserv.jmu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=TOK-SOCIETY-L&A=1 > ############################ To unsubscribe from the TOK-SOCIETY-L list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://listserv.jmu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=TOK-SOCIETY-L&A=1
