  Clearly, I can lose part of my body without ceasing to believe and know things. But losing part of my body does not entail losing my body, as a whole. So this argument fails. A better argument is found in the Nyāya-sūtra: the very phrase “my body” shows that I am not identical with my body. But this doesn’t work either, for I can also say “my soul”! There is no clear argument against physicalism here.
