Produktbeschreibung
The primary purpose of this book is to provide an insight into the nature of philosophy of mind, not only as a branch of philosophy as an academic discipline, but more importantly, as an aspect of the general human (intellectual) endeavor to acquire self-reflective knowledge. That is, knowledge of the human person in relation to the environment in which his/her activities take place. One reason for doing this is to address, although indirectly one of the most topical and fundamental issue of philosophy - the mind-body problem. Seen as one of the oldest philosophical topics, the mind-body question is how to explain the kind of relationship an individual's mind has in relation to the physical world and in particular, to the body. Discourses on the mind and body are replete in the writings of ancient philosophers and scholars.
