Brain is still? The more we learn, the brain, the more this question difficult to answer. To material scientists only matter is real, nothing else. For them, mental phenomena, or what we call spirit are all products of material phenomena. Logical positivism asserts the primacy of observation in assessing the truth of the statement of facts. Arguments not on observable data are meaningless. These philosophies, separation of the mind as a non-material entity is not possible. Gregory Bateson presents his theory of the unity of mind and brain elegant, "The spirit is no longer separated from the body as the speed is independent of the matter. Or, as acceleration is independent of speed." This is in contrast to Descartes' concept or Cartesian dualism, where the observer (you) is separated from the observed (the rest of the universe). The modern description of the mind is derived from the brilliant philosophy of Max Planck. Proposed on 14 December 1900, his theory of quantum phy...

So he answered - ex cathedra - questions that the rise time, from the constitution of his own ego. It is not so much the often lamented lack of a real life middle of a real general opinion of modern civilization, to the explanation of this behavior would be sufficient is much more to the modern man secretly totally sure that in all of its own existence Trichkräfte his own time are effective. It seems to him a mere matter of intense attention, which he directed at himself, and believes he has all the mysteries of his time and can cope with - if it takes a fair man - also to be able to pronounce. By the modern thinkers on the effective attitude in him giving evidence, he believes, that in itself all the time streams flow together. Such an opinion seems outrageous and highly vulnerable. But even Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky were their subject. Walther Rathenau has such a won...
