Some might feel the same about dualism."<br /><br />But whatever the reasons behind it, don't you know from your own experience that:<br /><br />1. We learn things more thoroughly and well if they are learnt through our own choice rather than imposed, and <br /><br />2. that we don't just read a scientific theory through once and 'know' it. We have to think about it in detail, compare new information to existing information and decide if/where it fits, if it makes sense? We have to analyse, organise and make sense of the new information, not simply see, hear or memorise. We need to connect new ideas with other ideas already in our heads. Popper calls the world 2, but does it matter what it's called or envisaged as? Isn't he just providing a model to aid understanding? If not, we can still use it in this way.<br /><br />We learn through conjecture and refutation whether it's electrical impulses firing across neurons in our brains or something else. Anything that improves the desire to consider ideas in enough depth to really understand them must be a good thing. Autonomous educators believe that this is achieved when people learn things that they choose to learn through intrinsic motivation. If you really want to understand something you will go out of your way to find any missing information you need to make sense of an idea or theory. You will fill in the gaps in your knowledge until the new theory makes sense. If you have been told to learn it you are more likely to just memorise the new information and not worry about any inconsistencies, a bit like the teachers you described who told the children to write down the experiment results they should have got rather than the true results. Why try and work out why it went wrong if you are not particularly interested, you've just been told to do it (teach it or learn it) and you've done it (though maybe an teacher or student with a genuine interest might be interested enough to try and find out why it didn't work later, even if the other parties are not interested).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-46193072412619332152010-08-03T13:02:39.081-07:002010-08-03T13:02:39.081-07:00"The problem here is that it is impossible to..."The problem here is that it is impossible to define what a mental state is.

It's at a higher level of complexity than the biochemistry. It's perfectly possible to define it, in the same way as it would be possible to define 'thought' or 'calculation'. These are products of the brain in the sense that they are properties of its operation, but they are not physical entities in the sense that the brain is. Nor are they made of some entity other than matter.suzygnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-64355802918096186752010-08-03T12:16:18.341-07:002010-08-03T12:16:18.341-07:00"Does it matter if a model helps improve lear..."Does it matter if a model helps improve learning?"<br /><br />I suppose that depends.

There is nothing in it which we can identify as a 'mental state'. As far as we can tell, mental states are a result of and indistinguishable from the physical state of the brain. This is unpalatable to many, because it results in a deterministic view of the world with no room for free will. This is the nature of the problem.

The Wikipedia quote is below but I've read it elsewhere too.<br /><br /><i>The theory of interaction between World 1 and World 2 is an alternative theory to Cartesian dualism, which is based on the theory that the universe is composed of two essential substances: Res Cogitans and Res Extensa. Popperian cosmology rejects this essentialism, but maintains the common sense view that physical and mental states exist, and they interact.</i><br /><br />Do you not think that mental states interact with the physical?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-17877486920172981832010-08-03T07:07:18.368-07:002010-08-03T07:07:18.368-07:00I have long been aware that many quarrelsome and i...I have long been aware that many quarrelsome and ill natured people comment here. To enter a discussion on epistemology though and call my opinions, ' evasive, misleading and vacuous', is exceptionally rude even mb the low standards of debate which one habitually encounters here.<br /><br />I have read through everything I wrote above and find nothing which is dismissing Popper's beliefs. Rather, I point out that those who follow his epistemology are inescapably drawn towards the cartesian dualism, an idea which is no longer popular with mainstream science. For instance, I said,<br /><br />'I am just pointing out that anybody who follows Popperian epistemology is really obliged to believe in discarnate entities. That is not to say that such things as disembodied spirits and souls do not exist, but it is also worth remembering that hardly any neurologists or psychologists believe in a mind which is separate from the brain.' <br /><br />'there really is no point in trying to discuss this with you.'<br /><br />I am inclined to agree with you anonymous.Simon Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10865289865412656573noreply@blogger.com
