“Purely Physical … live with it!”
Paul Churchland, Matter and Consciousness, 1984
“The important point about the standard evolutionary story is that the human species and all of its features are the wholly physical outcome of a purely physical process … If this is the correct account of our origins then there is neither need, nor room, to fit any nonphysical substances or properties into our theoretical account of ourselves. We are creatures of matter. And we should learn to live with that fact.”
