3941	How can that which is unthinking be a cause of thought? [Berkeley]
	Full Idea: How can that which is unthinking be a cause of thought?
	From: George Berkeley (Three Dialogues of Hylas and Philonous [1713], II p.203)
	A reaction: Presumably, though, he thinks that thought can cause 'that which is unthinking' to move'. He likes one half of the interaction problem (which supports dualism), but avoids the other half.
