Brain, Mind

“In itself, perhaps the brain does not think; it is the human agent with the brain, which some have called the soul, that thinks. And yet—can a soul, or a mind, be differentiated from its brain?

We speak of “our” brain as if we owned it, in a way; as we might speak of “our” ankle, “our” eyes. But such common usage is misguided, perhaps. We are nothing apart from our brains, thus it is our brains that think.

Or fail to think.” –The Lost Landscape: A writer’s coming of age by Joyce Carol Oates
