Are the Mind and Brain separate?

Hiya,

This is a real philosopher’s debate today on my Facebook Fan page.

Although more and more studies can identify which parts of the brain are responsible for certain thought processes and body functions, it seems when the brain gets damaged the mind can still be intact. In fact in many cases unaltered by the physical damage.

Scientists still haven’t identified where memory resides in the brain – it’s seems to happen everywhere at once. So, is our mind tapped in to some universal intelligence or force, or is it simply an illusion created by our chemical reactions?

What come first; Thoughts or Emotions?

Hiya,

Today’s debate on my FB Fan page asks this profound question. We had a heated debate about this very subject at my Philosopher’s Club a few weeks ago where we ended up agreeing that, to our perception at least, a bit of both was happening.

For the most part I believe that thoughts are at the root of all feelings, however, there seemed to be occasions where emotions would well up so instantly no thought seemed to have been involved.
