The ego (sense, awareness, will) is able to block their action as long as the upbringing of the person in question has created the right habits and thus initiated proper programs in the brain. Human (as well as animals) turns out to be a combination of the matter (‘body’), spirit (‘ego’) and abstracts (neural applications). The difference between humans and animals is the complexity of human’s neural software and the ability to pursue the non-utilitarian purposes.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={About human metaphysics}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/117081/PDF/2020-03-PFIL-16-Stanislawek.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pfns.2020.133985}, keywords={ego, sense, awareness, will, mind (reason), neural applications, neural stimulator, human, animal, upbringing, body functioning}, }
