I read the Phineas Gage article, but it wasn’t that useful to me; it doesn’t much affect any of the philosophical points you might make about him, it’s all about did he make a recovery in order to drive a coach in Chile.
As I saw it, the main points wasn’t any philosophical teaching about him as such, but rather a “beware of trusting unverified sources too blindly”.
(Which, admittedly, could be considered to be contradictory with me posting the link to an article I haven’t read...)
