عنوان مقاله [English]
The theist philosopher, Richard Swinburne, believes that the emergence
of “consciousness” in human as an immaterial substance is an argument
for God. He also believes that scientific explanations cannot explain
consciousness and thus intrinsic dualism of brain events and mental
events is unavoidable. In contrast, J. L. Mackie, another British
philosopher, confirms that materialistic explanations of consciousness
are faced with difficulties, but it is simpler from theistic explanation
and thus he denies the dualism of brain events and mental events and
Swinburne’s argument for God from consciousness. In this article it is
tried, by stating the reasons of explanatory inadequacy of Mackie’s
materialistic explanation of consciousness, to consider theistic
explanation of consciousness as most reasonable and simplest
explanation for consciousness and it is an inductive argument for God.
