Hi Eric

Thanks for your post.

I am not a Schopenhauer expert so I won’t venture onto that terrain.

But I confess I am a little puzzled about where you’re coming from (as they say). You seem to be saying – and forgive if I’m misreading you – that you are sympathetic to physicalist thinking – to some degree anyway; but on the other hand you say you found Tallis’s book useful; and as I read that book, he is sharply critical of physicalist approaches.

I am sure I must be losing the plot here, so feel free to put me back on track.
