When neurologists have proven the nature of consciousness to be a behavioral process in the brain how long will it take philosophers to abandon the intellectual poison that is dualism?
I don't think very many philosopher still hold the position, even the religious thinkers seem to be dropping it.
wtf, name one philosopher who is a serious dualist in 2015.

A person who wants to believe in dualism will still believe in dualism.
Homeopathy has not been completely dropped yet either.

It will never explain why things are the way they are which is the actually interesting question, sure everything works in a certain physical way in our physical reality but the subjective experience itself is a lot more interesting to research.
also our understanding of the outside world is limited by our senses and human point of view, we can't know what is actually out there.
Dualism sounds too specific to me, like they are chasing a carrot when they consider it. How can we know anything without putting an amount of value into what we think? Without the value, that is automatically assigned in our heads, what is there? We cannot know, we have a value for this assigned in our heads.

What do you mean by "behavioural process" in this statement?

Daniel Dennett?

It's dualism in disguise.

Yeah sure buddy, that shit's right around the corner. Neuroscience gots them fancy 'putas and whizzy-magoos now, so this should be a matter of days.

>He didn't read Hegel yet...
Dualism died with Descartes
Also would gladly like some sources on your assumption, it's quite interesting
