"All four of these positions have their adherents.  I believe the wide popularity among philosophers and scientists of (a), the outlook of psychophysical reductionism, is due not only to the great prestige of the physical sciences but to the feeling that this is the best defense against the dreaded (d), the theistic interventionist outlook. But someone who finds (a) and (b) self-evidently false and (c) completely implausible need not accept (d), because a scientific understanding of nature need not be limited to a physical theory of the objective spatio-temporal order. It makes sense to seek an expanded form of understanding that includes the mental but that is still scientific — i.e. still a theory of the immanent order of nature. That seems to me the most likely solution." - mkz

Evrim muhabbetini anlamadım. Kitaba bakmalı herhalde. - mkz

Tahminimce su paragraf kitabin icerigini özetliyor: "So the physical sciences, in spite of their extraordinary success in their own domain, necessarily leave an important aspect of nature unexplained. Further, since the mental arises through the development of animal organisms, the nature of those organisms cannot be fully understood through the physical sciences alone. Finally, since the long process of biological evolution is responsible for the existence of conscious organisms, and since a purely physical process cannot explain their existence, it follows that biological evolution must be more than just a physical process, and the theory of evolution, if it is to explain the existence of conscious life, must become more than just a physical theory." - logoped

tam da ordaki evrim muhabbetini dediydim anlamadim diye, ama simdi bi daha okuyunca anlamadim'dan katilmadim'a meylettim :) hep metafizik denebilecek biseylere meylediyodum bu konuda, baska yol yok gibi gorunuyodu, ama yakin zamanda oralara gitmeden, 'bura'lari genisleterek de biseyler olabilir belki diye dusunmeye baslamistim, bunda da benzer bisey gorunce ilgimi cekti. ama o evrim hakkinda dedigi pek hitap etmedi simdi. merak ettim yine de kitabi. sen ne dusunuyosun bu konularda, var mi bi meylettigin taraf? :) - mkz
