Mind

In Philosophy, there is the well known concept of the mind-body problem. The mind-body problem explains how mental states such as beliefs, actions, and thinking are related to physical states of an individual (Stewart, p.137, 2012). The basic issue of the mind body problem is the understanding how a body can have a mind inside of it that is controlling it. A frequent question asked is are we only matter or are we matter and mind? There are four philosophical positions including; type identity…

ION Z (Powerful mind supplement) Introduction As we all know that the brain is the most complex organ in a vertebrate's body. It exercises the control over all the other organs of the body. We all make efforts to keep the bodies fit, but if the mind does not stay sharp, all efforts done do not prove to be beneficial. So, the mental health becomes as much important as the physical health. Nowadays, due to the unhealthy and not so fresh food consumption, the need for the supplements has grown up.…

What will you think about when I am mentioning about a car? Perhaps a picture of a car will be immediately appearing in your mind. Have you ever thought about the causation of this kind of phenomenon? Does it have something to do with our brain structure? In this paper, I will illustrate the relations between the “representational theory of mind” and the problem of intentionality and examine how the former term help to address the latter. I will begin by defining the meaning of intentionality.…

view on the matter along with many interesting facts to back up his reasoning. He has concluded that internet use switches how some things work in our brains. He debates throughout the book whether this change is harmful or helpful towards how the mind works, but he ultimately decides that the thought process of our society is changing. Whether we are to do anything about it is up to the reader to decide. As a teen in a very tech savvy world, the internet has always looked fun and intriguing. I…

introduced their idea of the extended mind. What this means is they believe that cognition and even belief transcend beyond the confinement of the human skull. By a number of means, Clark and Chalmers aim to prove that cognition and belief do indeed exist outside of the physical human brain. I completely agree with Clark and Chalmers in their conception that the mind is extended, however, I mean to refute application of the fourth fundamental component of their extended mind theory, conscious…

Normally the individual would describe the mind-body problem as the mind being non-physical and the body being physical. Mind is software in the brain's hardware. The "stuff" of mind is pure information. Information is neither matter nor energy, though it needs matter for its embodiment and energy for its communication. The mind-body problem tries to explain the relationship between mental processes and the likes of beliefs, actions, and thinking. The approaches to this problem is usually…

Johnathan Haidt is a Professor of Ethical Leadership and social psychologist at NYU’s Stern School of Business. He wrote the book, The Righteous Mind to “at least do what we can to understand why we are so easily divided into hostile groups, each one certain of its righteousness.” He states: “My goal in this book is to drain some of the heat, anger, and divisiveness out of these topics and replace them with awe, wonder, and curiosity.” In light of America’s increasingly unreasonable political…

In Robots and Minds, William Lycan tries to show that it is feasible that robots can have the same kind of mind that humans do, under the condition that machines are able to have consciousness just like humans. He further expounds this theory by introducing AI, claiming that researchers have already designed machines that can do human-functioning activities (such as reading books, playing chess, etc.) Lycan concludes that all of these actions are considered to be intelligent behavior in human…

My experiences completing the sections of the “Mind over Mood” book were very intriguing and struck an emotional mood throughout the book. These experiences stemmed from the perspective of gained from writing on private and sensitive behaviors that considered important to my personal growth. Furthermore, I knew addressing these issues would convey change in my life, if I actively worked on them. Fortunately, taking a cognitive approach provided a structure methodology that counselors…

The Extended Mind and its Implications: Clark and Chalmers’ Extended Mind hypothesis presents the idea that objects external to the body within an environment can function as a part of the mind. For them, they claim that cognitive functions do not need to take place entirely the head and can occur in the physical world (Clark, Chalmers, 1998). In taking this stance they emphasize that the mind is not confined between the arbitrary internal boundaries of an individual’s head They emphasize the…
