What are the best catholic argument against physicalism, against the -mind-brain- identity?
How we can argue that mind is however dependent on the brain (in case of a accident…) , but is not the same thing…
 
No one’s replied, so I’ll take a crack.

Can these people who support physicalism tell me the exact physical differences between justice and kindness? What do the brainwaves for each look like? What does kindness and justice smell like? Taste like? Hear like? If I apply a voltage to them, how will they react?

Justice and kindness are obviously not the same things. They do not have physical attributes, but we can still understand what each is and their differences. We call that which can understand the differences the mind.
