because according to the best science that we've got,
-
the brain is the part of the body
-
that is the seat or house or the underlying mechanical structure
-
that gives us these various abilities.
-
These P functions are functions that we have by virtue of our brain.
-
So that might tempt you into saying the mind
-
on the physicalist view is just a brain.
-
But we probably shouldn't say that. After all,
-
if you shoot me, there's my corpse lying on the stage.
-
Well, there's my brain.
-
My brain is still there in my head.
-
But we no longer have a person.
