Agency Arguments: Do reasoning and moral choice prove you have a nonphysical mind?

November 15, 2021 by The Philosurfer Leave a Comment

Rational agency is what we call our reasoning ability, and it seems to be different from mimicry, but the two aren't physically different. This seems to show we are non-physical. Moral agency is our faculty for deliberating between goods. Again, this seems physically identical to mimicry, so its existence seems to show we are non-physical.
