    • 2.If neuroscience fully explains behavior via physical processes, the cosmological framework does not merely supplement personalism—it displaces it entirely.

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Spinoza's substance monism entails that the human being is a finite mode of one infinite substance, making no framework irreducibly 'personal' at the foundational level.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If subjectivity itself is adequately explained as a determinate expression of universal natura naturans, the personalist framework is methodologically redundant rather than indispensable.

    A conclusion of personalism is that the experience of the human being cannot be derived by way of cosmological reduction. We must pause at the irreducible, at that which is unique and unrepeatable in each human being, that by virtue of which he or she is not just a particular human being – an individual of a certain species – but a personal subject. This is the only way to come to a true understanding of the human being. Obviously the framework of the irreducible is not exhaustive of the human
