ABSTRACT: Is it possible to say that there is no real self if we take a non-Cartesian view of the body? Is it possible to say that an organism can engage in pragmatic action and intersubjective interaction and that the self generated in such activity is not real? This depands on how we define the concept 'real'. By taking a close look at embodied action, and at Metzinger's concept of embodiment, I want to argue that, on a non-Cartesian concept of reality, the self should be considered something real, and not simply and illusion...
Wowzer!

See, this is why I'm giving up thinking, not being, just thinking. Just eat the bloody mushrooms and give it a rest.

What mushrooms? Where?
I haven't taken A-class drugs for coming along 3 years now, and yet I find my imaginative capacity (or tendancy to philosophise reality out of existence) is the highest it's ever been.
Tell me some more about yourself Mr. What?... For someone who maintains that they have given up thinking you sure pop in here a lot. The Over Thinking Forum... is what I should have called it
