Mind
The mind is the set of cognitive faculties that enables consciousness, perception, thinking, judgement, and memory. These are characteristics of humans, but also may apply to other life forms.
As a part of the physical body it is agreed that mind is that which enables a being to have subjective awareness of their environment, to perceive and respond to stimuli with some kind of agency, and to have consciousness, including thinking and feeling. But the mind itself lives in the environment of the physical body and the body in the world. What comes in and is around the body affects the function of the mind.
The mind is a dependent agent of perception, Chemicals, light, ideas, as well as emotions including pride or humility, love or hate may effect the biased functioning of the mind.
Broadly speaking, mental faculties are the various functions of the mind, or things the mind can "do".
Thought is a mental act that allows humans to make sense of things in the world, and to represent and interpret them in ways that are significant, or which accord with their needs, attachments, goals, commitments, plans, ends, desires, etc. Thinking involves the symbolic or semiotic mediation of ideas or data, as when we form concepts, engage in problem solving, reasoning and making decisions. Words that refer to similar concepts and processes include deliberation, cognition, discourse and imagination.
All this involves choices including setting values on the perceptions based upon previous values and perceptions. It appears that the mind sets the values upon which the mind depends to set values.
The brain and the mind may not be considered identical but have a relationship based in the idea of religion or philosophy and science. There are three major schools of thought concerning the possible relationship:
- Dualism holds that the mind exists independently of the brain;
- Materialism holds that mental phenomena are identical to dendrite and neuronal phenomena;
- Idealism holds that mental phenomena exist with acute independence and assigns crucial importance to a distinctively human ideal or spiritual realm.
The truth may be found in a combination of all three.
