Ok.
Of course I wouldn't agree with you that the spirit is just a response. I would say it is a cause and the gradual understanding of it is a response.
But thnx for your answer. Its still a good one.
"...an attitude or principle that inspires, animates, or pervades thought, feeling, or action: the spirit of reform."
In that case, for me, it is an aspect of mind.

Originally posted by karoly aczelI'm more inclined to say that the mind supervenes on the brain. For me, as you said, the mind is one of the things that the brain does.
I would say that the brain is an istrument of the mind. Which is interconnected on a higher level and which we all have access to.
(btw,i like these short answer/response type dialogues🙂 )
