@sjzara If all minds are physical (we've never encountered a non-physical mind), and God is a mind, then God is physical.

@SIN_Notung I'm suggesting that all minds have to be physical.

@sjzara @SIN_Notung But there's a difference between claiming all minds are dependent upon the physical & that all minds are only physical.

@PhilosophyExp @sjzara oops, yes, so we'd have to say 'dependent on the physical ' in both cases. God is dependent on the physical.

@SIN_Notung @sjzara Well, Steve's position is that dualism is ruled out, so his is a stronger claim.

@PhilosophyExp @sjzara Couldn't one think that the mind supervenes on the physical, but that it is non-physical itself, & dualism is false?

@PhilosophyExp @sjzara genuine question, since I've always been fuzzy on phil. of mind.

@SIN_Notung @PhilosophyExp I have never come across a coherent definition of 'non-physical' (other than 'abstract')
