Philosophy of Mind

The philosophy of mind explores the nature of consciousness, thought, and perception. It seeks to

understand the relationship between the mind and the body.

Dualism, as proposed by René Descartes, argues that the mind and body are separate entities. In

contrast, materialism suggests that consciousness arises from physical processes in the brain.

Functionalism, another perspective, views mental states as functions that process information.

The problem of consciousness remains a major challenge in philosophy. How do subjective

experiences, or qualia, arise from neural activity? Can machines ever be conscious? These

questions are central to discussions about artificial intelligence and neuroscience.
