Continuing from Plato's views on the mind and body from last episode, this week, we discuss dualism... and a bit of everything else. We expand on Plato a bit with his charioteer analogy and on Descartes' cogito ergo sum, sharing some of our own views on the eternity of the soul too. We also talk about Frank Jackson's thought experiment, Mary's Room, and its counter arguments, before we go off on how much we love (Estelle) or hate (Lea) thought experiments. Lea shares a thought experiment about a lobster, but NOTE: the actual thought experiment is Locke's prince and cobbler (NOT lobster), we're sorry for that confusion but we hope you enjoy our more entertaining version!
