11. Knowledge Aims / B. Certain Knowledge / 5. Cogito Critique

7146	Belief in the body is better established than belief in the mind [Nietzsche]
	Full Idea: Belief in the body is better established than belief in the mind.
	From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Writings from Late Notebooks [1887], 40[15])
	A reaction: Compare Spinoza in Idea 4833. Hawking says he thinks better because he is largely paralysed. Externalism about mind makes it necessarily a part of the world and hence physical. I am inclined to agree with Nietzsche.
