is divisible into separate, physical parts. This is obviously true, seeing how one can separate it into lobes, or cerebrum and cerebellum, or whatever. There are many different physical groups the brain can be separated into. The mind however, can not be divided into physical groups. It is not like the brain, the mind being nonphysical and the brain being a tangible object. Now along with this divisibility argument goes Leibnizs Law. This states that if an object x, has the same properties as an object y, then the two objects are identical. Using this principle, it is clear that the mind and brain are not the same thing. If they were, then the two would not have any contradicting qualities. The mind is not divisible, but the brain is. Therefore, the two have a characteristic that is different, which makes them not identical. I do not think that the mind and body are the same thing. Both from arguments relating to my own beliefs, and with supporting arguments I hope to have thoroughly explained why I feel this way. I just dont see how something as unique as the mind, with so much nonphysical substance to it, can be a part of the brain, an object which is so definitively physical. Although I feel the two are separate, this does not mean that I think they have no connections at all. The mind and brain are, without a doubt, a team. They interact together and run the body, however, they just are not the same thing....
