Few words in our language appear to cover such a broad and flexi ble swath of ideas as “the mind.” But what\, actually\, is the human mind? How does it relate to and differ from its seemingly inseparable companion \, the brain? Where does the mind begin or emerge from? Is it merely a by- product of neural activities within the brain\, or does it connect with de eper and more fundamental features of physical reality that possibly span across nature beyond the realm of living forms? Is there such a thing as t he proper locus of the mind? How independent is the mind from its biologic al foundations? It is generally believed that what distinguishes the human mind is precisely its capacity to ask and probe these very questions. But is it actually equipped to answer them? How far does the scope of the min d extend? And what role does reflection and conscious thought play in its operation?
\nPhilo sopher of mind Ned Block\, philosopher Philip Goff\, and philosopher Rebec ca Newberger Goldstein dissect the connections between the human mind\, br ain\, and consciousness.
