Shelly Kagan Quotes
If You Put It As 'complex Nervous Systems' It Sounds Pretty Deflationary. What's So Special About A Complex Nervous System? But Of Course, That Complex Nervous System Allows You To Do Calculus. It Allows You To Do Astrophysics ... To Write Poetry ... To Fall In Love. Put Under That Description, When Asked 'What's So Special About Humans ... ?', I'm At A Loss To Know How To Answer That Question. If You Don't See Why We'd Be Special ... Because We Can Do Poetry [and] Think Philosophical Thoughts [and] We Can Think About The Morality Of Our Behavior, I'm Not Sure What Kind Of Answer Could Possibly Satisfy You At That Point.
... I Could Pose The Same Kinds Of Questions Of You ... So God Says, 'You Are Guys Are Really, Really Special.' How Does His Saying It Make Us Special? 'But You See, He Gave Us A Soul.' How Does Our Having A Soul Make Us Special? Whatever Answer You Give, You Could Always Say ... 'What's So Special About That?
