Hobbes claims that you are nothing more than your physical body (or your brain). If this is true, then you are exactly the same as your body (or your brain), so whatever is true of you must be true of your body. But consider the following objection to Hobbes: “Although you can be morally blameworthy or praiseworthy, can we say that your body or your brain is morally blameworthy or praiseworthy? Although you can have wishes (for example, to do math) or thoughts (for example, about philosophy), does it make sense to say that your body or your brain has these wishes or thoughts? Although you can love God, isn’t it absurd to say your body or your brain loves God? Although it makes sense to say that you have a body, does it make sense to say that your body has a body?” Evaluate these criticisms.
