Descartes objected against the fact that the mind was not just a thinking thing. Well, I agree and disagree. Our brains purpose is to think, contemplate, rationalize, make decisions. To think is just that we are processing information from all of our senses and bam, there is our thought(s).
On the other hand what about our 6th sense? What about the fact that we are not just simple mortals, human beings, animals? What about the unexplainable things that occur in our lives? Haven’t you ever picked up the phone to call someone and they called you first and they are already on the line one you answered it? Have you ever had that feeling of something outside of me is happening, greater then me, bigger then me, something unexplainable?
Do you think the mind is or is not just a thinking thing?
