Well it is nonscientific, it's outside the bounds of science. Doesn't mean it's irrational.

- TaupeRanger 10y agoWhat do you mean it's outside the bounds of science? Surely there can be a physical explanation that we simply haven't been clever enough to discover yet? That's all I'm saying.
- faktorialas 10y agoI mean that there is no known empirical method for receiving a datapoint about the mind. We can know things about the brain, we can ask people to talk about their experiences, but we can't receive the actual contents of the experiences. Maybe we'll figure it out someday. That is probably a long way away though, and for now, the problem is for philosophy of mind, only to be informed, but not solved by relevant sciences.
