In a continuation of last week's show, Dr. Justin Clarke leads us through a challenge to dualism's mind philosophy, materialism. Materialism argues that our brain is our mind and that mental activities are connected to physical ones. Materialists believe physical matter is the only reality and that everything, including thought, feeling, mind, and will, can be explained in terms of matter and physical phenomena. Join us in another challenging episode!
