This note is addressed to all materialists, especially Prof. Dennett. Getting from "me" to "I"'
Self-reference could be a subject/predicate relation. But that doesn't say enough because there are two possible perspectives: 1) "He is a man." Here you are referencing yourself in the 3rd person or objective persepective. Bruno Marchall calls this "3p" . 2) "I am a man." This is 1st person. Marshall calls this "1p." 1p is the subjective form of self-reference. Do you see the difference ? Materialism and computer language only gives us the objective (descriptive) or 3p format because it does not contain a subjective element. Leibniz gets around this problem by including a subjective element, which is that which perceives the world through the top monad. This subjectrive element is universal and isa what Plato called the One or Oversoul. To include such a subjective element, you need to have a point in the brain which is something like a king, that does all of the perceiving and governing. He is not a simple homunculus, he makes sense of what the visual signals in the optical nerves provides us with. Am I making any sense to you materialists? Can you see the difference between the "I" perspectiove (what i say above) and the "me" of conventional materialistic theory ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
