THE MIND BODY PROBLEM AN ITS PLACE IN PHILOSOPHY:
What the problem is?
The problem with which this post deals, the Mind-Body problem, can be posed most briefly in a single question: What is the relation,in a man, between his mind an body?
The problem is really more general, of course, for if animals other than men, or bodily creatures on other planets, have minds too, then there will be a problem about the relation of heir minds to their bodies. I dare say we can generalize whatever conclusion we reach about ourselves to cover animals rather like us, and with luck it might even extend to extraterrestrial beings.
In any event men, being concerned most with themselves, have concentrated chiefly on their own case; we will follow this tradition and postpone the wider problem.
So the Mind-Body problem will be for us the problem of determining in what relation a human mind stands to a human body. It is clear that to get a firm grasp of even the problem,let alone its solution,we must also settle two further questions:
What is a human mind?
What is a human body?
In next post it will define briefly ......
