Interesting stuff. So... you're the saying that feelings are of the mind, but not of the brain. And tuner is saying that he can't see the mind functioning without the brain. I said this to a student, once, who was a member of the philosophy club I ran, and he or she said that the mind is like an engine that powers the brain. On the other hand, maybe the brain is the engine behind the mind. What do you think?
In my opinion, I think they: the brain and mind, definitely have to work together, in order for feelings to be there, in a person: a memory, or experience, recorded by the brain, is used to produce a feeling, when we see something similar: fear, anxiety, joy, etc. If we could not remember, there would just be curiosity. It's like the question, "do you mind?" We don't ask, "do you brain?" I guess this is the discriminating qualities of the mind, at work.
The question that popped up, in my mind, is: do animals, then, have minds, or do they only have brains? Also, do you think that a computer can be created, with a mind or a brain: A.I.?
There are also spiritual questions that come up. Does the mind experience death, or is it only our bodies that do? Also, is the mind the spirit or an integral part of it? If the mind survives death, is death even a reality?
There's also the issue of amnesia: a clean slate, in the brain. I've never met anyone with amnesia, but has this person actually "lost his mind?"
Years after having discussed the mind, I still don't know for sure what it is, maybe we'll come to a conclusion, while in this thread.
