The Creationism, Reductionism, Emergentism and Problem of The Mind

Document Type : علمی - پژوهشی

Abstract

Mind-body problem and the existence of the mind in the physical world is one of the most important issues in the history of human thought and a lot of ideas have been presented to explain it. Creationism and dualism arising from it, in explaining the mind-body interaction have little success. This failure raises physicalist views and opinions of the Reductionism. In this theory, mental property removed or, at best, is reducible to the physical. But physicalism answers only led to the elimination of the problem and cannot explain how the existence of non-physical features in the physical world. The Emergentism theory put forward new answers to this question. According to The emergentism the mind and mental property arising from the evolution of the physical body and yet irreducible to it. In other words, the physical body, is fluid and dynamic system that at the highest level of system complexity, com into the mind and consciousness. This theory have advantages in contrast with the dualism and reductionism in explaining the mind-body connection, because opposed to the creationism accepting of dualism, it make a image of biological evolution of the mind and its relation to the brain ,and on the other hand, while accepting physicalism and natural evolution rejects reductionism.
