The ability of the mind to receive sensible forms depends on the proper functioning of the body's sense organs, so this would not contradict an essentially non-material theory of sense cognition.

(Aside: for similar reasons, it also wouldn't tell against the practice of prescribing chemical medication to treat psychological disorders. So the current practice of 'doping' students -- whatever else is wrong with it -- doesn't imply, as you suggested in an earlier post, that the psychologists who do so are necessarily materialists.)

Good point. Although I believe, in fact, they largely are, if maybe in a confused way.
