Body and Soul

I

Thought has more reality than a leg, because thought, being invisible and untouchable and unquantifiable at all, nevertheless, is it that values the leg, just due to be enabled to conceive it, as it possesses the FORCE to do that, while leg can't conceive the thought or itself as a member of a body. Even the body, as a whole, cannot do it.

So: what is real is the own thought and not a passing body. This is an illusion, as a passing thing that it is. All materially determined things are illusions, because will pass on, while thought remains equal, the SAME, as a primary force (condition) that it is [not as an act (the act of the thought is just the speech, an exercise belonging to the rationality, while thought, as a force, I mean: as a condition, is, in other hand, the pure capacity to tie concepts and thus build the judgments, which are the first composition of a thought, translated into a grammatical form under the presentation of phrases)].

That's why mind is over matter.

Then our eyes, our ears and all our several senses, do not bring to us the true reality. This reality is bodily untouchable, invisible, not heard... .

The empiricism assumes a quite wrong philosophical (?) position, considering the (necessarily sensory) experience the beginning of all reality and thus forgetting that the experience is given by the senses and these «can mistake us», as Descartes underscored in his method(ology).

And why?

Just because the senses data are given by the time and time tells us that nothing, in Nature, can get place forever – only what is permanent and immutable can truly be real.

That's why the empiricism is the direct door, is the way, to the philosophical materialism of nowadays, a cultural attitude which finally contaminated all Earth.
