Abstract
In this video, Professor Mark Solms explains how absolute certaintly is not a requirement in everyday life and even in some aspects of science; rather, a systematic common sense approach is often used to test whether something has subjectivity or not. He uses the example of pain to illustrate this idea. This is video 3 in Week 2 of the What is a Mind MOOC.
